we're off

It's bright and early on a Saturday morning—we'll maybe not so bright just yet. But early—definitely. We're off to the Bouckville antiques show about 2 hours north of here and I'm excited to see what goodies I'll find! The show is set up in a huge open field with tents in the middle and rows of booths all around them. Hundreds of dealers so I've got my comfy walking shoes on. And a sweater since it's going to be cool this year. And that sounds better than the rain we had two years ago and the near 100% humidity last year.

I'll report on my finds next week.

For now I'll leave you with a pretty picture of my Casa Blanca lilies. If you want a spectacular perennial for your garden—one with flowers the size of lunch plates—this is it. And I wish you could smell them—not too sweet and kind of cinnamony-spicy.
