From Carol today:
However, a person must also have some fun, so I have also been in the garden staking delphiniums, which look beautiful with the peonies and pink roses that are just coming out now. Blue, purple and pink, one of my favourite combinations. The mock orange under our bedroom window is out now too, so that is pretty and smells good. I also played hookey long enough this afternoon to take a walk to VanDusen Gardens, where the roses are in full bloom. Very beautiful, as is the pond/lake, covered in water lilies. We should take a walk there one day when you are all recovered.
