Spent a fun day at Iain's Mom's place on Saturday, just puttering in the garden
and doing a bit of shopping. Sheila has several nice Hostas among her plants.

| I needed to photograph this one, with its huge, huge leaves! I forgot my camera at home, so of necessity these shots were taken with my phone: 2 megapixels doesn't do it justice, I fear. |
Sheila's back yard is a quiet, lovely spot: just the place to sit and have a nice beer after pulling a few weeds and putting down some soil and fertilizer, among other little jobs. The new patio set was very comfortable!

| Very nice! |
I had fun pulling out the windchimes and bird feeders and finding places to hang them. I don't know if Mom really wanted them all out, but she was very indulgent and let me do whatever I liked.

| Yummy sandwiches for lunch! |
We did a tour of Lee Valley to find a new wheelbarrow (and ran into Jessica A. while we were there; apparently she was in need of a set of pruning shears to tidy some things at her new house, and what better place to find them!), and went elsewhere to pick up a few plants for the vegetable garden. Afterwards, Mom bought some steaks for us to barbeque, and Kyle joined us for dinner. What a great day!
