We joined some friends for brunch at Stacks in Menlo Park at around 9:30 am. I ordered their famous banana macadamia nut & coconut pancakes. It was pretty good! I'm glad we ate a real breakfast because we needed the energy. I think you'll agree with me at the end of the post. :)
It was an absolutely gorgeous day. The sun was out and the temperature was comfortable at mid-60s. We saw camelias as we walked into the nursery. Camelias are growing on me. I saw them at Summer Winds a few weeks ago and since then I've been considering planting three camelia bushes along the fence that borders our neighbors. It would make such a pretty hedge, don't you think? :) They are such prolific bloomers as the following picture will tell! Look at how many blossoms are on that small tree!
We then dropped by Home Depot to get this raised garden bed. I've been researching raised garden beds for a while now and was so excited to come across this one! It's well-priced and well-reviewed.
My hands were way too dirty to take any pictures and we felt so accomplished at the end of the day. :) I took the following picture today. Someone seems to think the new garden bed is his personal bed. *sigh.
