Cinta, you are right about aging decisions.
I was talking to my friend about the party and said how egocentric to throw one for myself. She said when she turned 80 she realized it was time to do what-ever, not to put things off.
We also have horrible winters so I chose a June date when the garden would be full of blooms.
Of course we had a queer spring and the lamium has taken over but the guests don't know there are lilies and balloon flowers missing and the deer have eaten the phlox down a bit.
