spring fling


last thursday we had a visit from our dear friend tia. we had a fun lunch at edie's, did some flower shopping at molzon's and topped off the day with a good glass of wine and some shrimp pasta. tia is one of those gifts that life gives you when you least expect it. she and shawn (her husband) have known ryan since they were teenagers. it's a wonderful thing to meet your spouse's friends and hit it off when them. in this case, we've done more than hit it off. tia has become one of my dearest friends and i feel like i've known her forever. i joke with ryan that if we ever part ways (we won't) that i get tia and shawn in the divorce. (they'd want me anyway)

so, thank you, my friend tia, for a wonderful day and for helping me to get my perennial garden going. who knew you were so knowledgeable about gardening? it just goes to show you that no matter how well you know someone you never know everything. i couldn't have done it without you. i am so proud of it and go outside everyday to stare at it. i will think of tia every time i look at it. thanks for a great day!
