We decided to make a trip to Racine, WI to buy plants at Milaeger’s Gardens. It is about an hour’s drive and well worth it. The kids were all restless and ill-behaved but we still managed to get several nice window boxes and a nice assortment of plants to go in them. On the way home we stopped at a nearby Wal-Mart to pick up potting soil and a small pond kit.

I installed the window boxes on our front deck and planted everything while Michele went to Target to get a few outdoor chairs plus a table. Then I set up the pond. We need to get some more potted plants besides our nice Norfolk Island pine to complete things but still the deck is transformed already.

Michele and I decided to do all of this as our combined Mother’s Day and Father’s Day presents to each other.
