My procrastinator’s list just got one (small) item shorter.  Yesterday, on a rainy Father’s Day, we went to Winfield, IL, home of Planter’s Palette.  Kind of a hike for us, but the plant selection is outstanding, and we’ve had great luck with all of our purchases over the years.  Our front porch was looking like November – all blah, no signs of life – but now we have two lovely pots of cherry-bomb-red geraniums.  Also picked up a hydrangea, a peony (for 10 days of splendor in June 2007), and a couple other perennials.  Father’s Day ended with clear skies, birds singing (hopefully not from exhaust vents) and dinner (steak and potatoes, for it was Father’s Day) on the patio.  Ahhhh, summer.  Sometimes, it’s quite nice!
