And just as soon as I feel like getting showered and dressed, I’m going out in it.

My tooth was hurting again, so the dentist filed down the crown a bit, and I scheduled a trip to the oral surgeon yesterday. His take is that it was just pressure from the crown hitting my bottom teeth before the other teeth did, so I’m taking Advil three times a day for a week to see if having it shorter helps. It does feel a lot better since it got shortened, so we’ll see.

So I had time to drive around after that, and I hit my old favorite garden centers. I came home with very few things. However, I do have some alyssum and sweet potato vine to add to the front and more peach colored verbena for the back. I have to get the Fragrant Cloud rose back into the ground with the amended soil, and do some more mulching in the back. After the back is done, I’ll focus on the big bed in front and the foundation plantings.

Our contractor expects to start work on the siding in a couple of weeks. Maybe I can get one of his guys to help the kids with the fort. . .heh. For now, they need to clean their rooms. And Audrey needs to hang up her new dresses. We went shopping on Thursday so she could have something special to wear for her graduation dance. OMG she looks so grown-up in them!! (Filene’s had them for under $30 each, so we got three. They’re not super fancy, so she’ll be able to wear them for other occasions.) My baby is starting High School. I have a whole summer to freak out about it.
