Since we didn't know when exactly John's surgery was going to be rescheduled, we decided to take a chance and plant the garden and flower pots.  After church on Sunday, we headed to Bemidji for lunch and then took a spin up to Northome for a quick visit with John's sister and her husband.  They had just purchased a new mattress and we wanted ask them about it and look it over.  We found it was exactly what we were looking for and placed an order on line.  The mattress should arrive in a week to ten days.  On our way back to Bagley we stopped at the local green house and bought all the plants for the pots and garden.

Monday morning John played golf and then we spent the remainder of the day getting everything in the garden and pots.  We no sooner got everything done when we were notified that John's surgery will be June 4th.  Guess we didn't have to rush to get everything planted, but now it's finished.  Just have to hope there is no frost.  At least now know for sure John can attend the graduation ceremony and open houses for our grand kids.

Green pots on left replacing all the shrubs

that were crushed this last winter.  Need to put more

stones in there, but that is a project for next summer.

Right now we are planning to head to southern Wisconsin on Friday morning to pick up my golf clubs and other stuff that our friend John B. hauled to his place for us when we sold our home in
Texas.  We thought this might be the best time to go since graduation is the next weekend and there are several track meets and a few appointments scattered about over the next two weeks.
