Relaxing day today.  Watched the Life of Pi this morning and then we headed out to the garden center to look for some trees.  We want to plant some trees in the back where there is an open space now that the dead trees were taken down last week. We found a really nice sales person at Homestead Gardens who pointed out which trees were native to Maryland.  Big trees are not cheap – $200 and if we got a big tree we would have had to pay delivery charges so we
settled on one small tree that would fit in the back of the highlander today but hope to buy at least one more.  Also bought some plants for the planters on the deck.  After supper, I headed out to the yard see what I could do for photo of the day.  Still trying to use manual setting on the camera – these flowers are just starting to bud but I am excited that they made it through the winter.
