It was a dreary, rainy, cold weekend - but we had a great time! First, we pretended to be cool and artsy. Yesterday we went to the Moxie - an independent small movie theater downtown. Our friend's Jim and Patty's son is a film maker in California. His film "Feeding" was playing as part of the Show-Me Film Festival, so we joined their friends and family to see it along with several other short films. It was lots of fun and the Moxie is a really neat place. Jamie's film is great - it's about a woman's unlikely relationship with her garbage disposal. It doesn't exactly end well for the woman's husband. ;)
Then we pretended to be great gardeners. Today we went to the Lawn and Garden Show at the fairgrounds. That always gives me spring fever! We picked up a brochure for an inventory reduction sale on big trees and have had visions of hole digging all afternoon. I picked up a free tiny bald cypress tree to plant. It appears to be a stick wrapped in cling wrap, so I guess we'll see if it grows. The arbor day tree I got in 4th grade is now a large beautiful shade tree, so maybe 20-some years from now, the bald cypress will look less pitiful.
Further evidence has been found that Raul the Rabbit is indeed living in our backyard. I want to start feeding him - that would bring the pet tally to four!
