Dh worked until 12 noon, so was home by 1pm. We went to Tim Hortons for a late lunch; we both had the soup deal, and it was good.
Then dh decided to take me for a drive to Bradford Greenhouses. You could spend a small fortune in that place and there have more than one area with just spectacular things in there.
We picked up a couple of things. I got this pear tree it's a Red Bartlett to add to my other pear tree, which is a triple pear tree.
I also picked up a white lilac called Primrose. However when reading up on this lilac, the older the plant gets the more yellow the flowers so that is something to look forward to. I would like to plant a pink lilac as well.
I have been wanting a clock for outside, as I never know what time it is. So we picked up this double sided clock and I will get dh to put it up by the garage. It will save me trailing into the house with my dirty shoes on.
Dh also came home with this basket of plants for me for Mother's Day which was really sweet of him.
Now all we need is for the weather to warm up, but I don't see that happening much before the weekend. So I will get some jobs done around the house this week. At least if it's cold the grass shouldn't grow as fast right?

That clock is really nice. Do you have to install it in a sheltered spot or does it still work if it gets wet?
