  My valentine flowers are on their way out, but amazingly, I still have enough for an arrangement. The glad with them was given to me by the waitress at Macaroni Grill when Warren and I were there on our anniversary.

  I spent most of the day outside working in the garden. I planted the orienpet lily bulbs that have come so far. I should get two more orders in the next few days. That didn't take all that long, but I also watered some and cleaned up part of the garden. I got 30 bags of composted humus and manure to give the garden a boost. It will take me several days to get it spread around. My husband, bless his heart, dug up two big clumps of ornamental grass where I want to plant Home Run roses. I think it was harder than he thought it would be because they were in clay. I hope to get to planting the roses tomorrow. They are being sent from a nursery across town to one close. Home Run roses, if you are a rose person, is the "child" of the great rose variety, Knockout. It has a smaller growth habit and blooms all summer like it's parent.
