Just letting you guys know I had a wonderful day yesterday for my birthday.
Lou and I went to nurseries (LOL) for my special day. I felt like a Queen I told him.
We went to WaveCrest and Huntree out by the lake. It was worth the trip and the time.
The day was beautiful, not hot and just a gorgeous Michigan summer day.
WaveCrest has the big ones. Huntree has the want list varieties.
WaveCrest: Acer something.,round leaves. hysterical looking. (tree). wanted a
Korean Mt. Ash, but only one was over 20' high, and we cannot deal with a
plant that big. Got a Sum and Substance Hosta and a tiny leaved Euonymous fortunei 6" by 5 feet.
Huntree got a 10' high Plantanus 'Bloodgood' for $50!!! That is going into the ground tonight after
I water the spot to dig all day to soften up the ground. chose a southern location by our house for
eventual shade and magnificence. This puppy will be about 100 feet high by 80 feet wide. It can
shade the entire garden with one tree! LOL. Also got a Hachenechloa aurea, larger 8" pot and
has a flowering shoot on it already.
We walked around Saugutuck, ate at the Mermaid inside, the wait for a water side table was over 40 minutes,
and I was too hungry and tired by then. they have serving difficulties at that restaurant.
Got a nice pair of earring Hugs from Bath and Bauble, hand made in sterling silver, not pierced, but go
around the outside of your ear. My holes always close up, so pierced are a losing battle for me.
Got a fun sparkly ribbon clown looking collar for my Pug Miss Dottie with shamrocks and sparkles on it.
Also got a cute pug statue smoking a cigar with a hat made of money and a sack of money clothing he is
wearing. Too funny. Just a little thing. Of course, Lou got fudge and cashew brittle from Kilmers,and I love
candy popcorn, so we got some to take home.
We watched old people (like us) go on a Saugatuck tour on Segways!!! Everywhere there are scooters
for rent now, bicycles and sail boats, tours on paddle boat, chain ferries across the harbour channel,
amphibious car taxi rides. Galleries and lots of neat shops, pretty clothing both t shirts and hand made
designer and unusual stuff too. One shop had gorgeous childrens clothing, but we didn't go in, we were
already on the march back to the car, and thinking about the poor dogs left home all day.
What a nice day.
