I went to the hair dresser this morning. Her name is Karen. She is the owner of Chesapeake Hair Studio. It overlooks the marina and has a beautiful weeping Cherry Tree in the yard. I got a new perm. It's a spiral perm and it turned out well. I took some pictures that I will post tomorrow. It feels good to have my hair curly again.

This afternoon, I planted some little trees from the Arbor Foundation in the back yard on the edge of the woods. They were just sticks but I had planted some in Vineland that grew very nicely and lined the edge of my yard. They are supposed to be planted in a sheltered area for one or two years and then transplanted to their permanent location. They are a couple dogwoods, redbuds, and myrtles. I will give some to my niece. She has a large property and and fit them in well. The dogwoods may be a problem as the ones in this area have a disease and have either died or are dying. Cheryl lost a couple and one of my neighbors lost a couple. Another neighbor has one that doesn't look too good. I have a Japanese dogwood that seems to be doing OK.

My flowers are jumping out of the ground. The dogtooth violet is about to bloom. The astilbies are coming up and so are my bleeding hearts that I thought I'd lost. I accidentally stepped on one while planting my trees. I hope it survives. I could kick myself for doing that. It was coming along really well. I have large yellow crocuses blooming along the driveway. I brought them from Vineland. The rhododendrons grew over them and they were too shaded and hadn't bloomed for years. Ted liked the large yellow crocuses. I'm glad they are doing well here.
