I thought I would post a couple of gratuitous garden shots here. I love these purple spiky flowers, they're a type of lamb's ear that I bought in Wisconsin last year; I want to go back and buy about 7 more from my favorite perennial farm, Country Gardens in Oconomowoc, WI. If you're ever up there, stop by, they have the best perennial selection I have ever seen, great prices, and the couple that own it are super nice.
Also they rescue cats and have about 14 milling about outside.
