The CrabAppleLane Garden

CrabAppleLane Garden - March 31, 2008These are new impatiens this year ... surrounding a new hydrangea. I haven't bought impatiens in many years because they usually come back on their own, albeit later than you normally see them in garden centers. I like the pinwheels. No lighting I could figure out could keep the pink & white one in the lower left corner of this image from washing out. This was taken at dusk. You can actually see these lovely little flowers in the dark. I will surely plant some more.

Congratulations to the LSU Lady Tigers on their fifth straight Final Four. I'd like to see them win the first game for once. If they continue to make a few outside shots to keep defenses from collapsing in on Sylvia and take care of the ball, they will be difficult to beat. Those are things they always struggle with, though. Rutgers put four bodies on Sylvia last year and the Lady Tigers couldn't hit the open 8ft jumpers. A turnover allowed Tennessee to beat them a few years ago and turnovers killed them against Baylor in 2005. Next up this year is probably going to be a third meeting with Tennessee. Two SEC teams intimately familiar with each other. The teams split the first two meetings. Go Lady Tigers. Barking Spider has a tidbit about the women's Final Four in Tampa this year. I had no idea.
