POTTED PLANTS
SATURDAY, MAY 15, 2010
I went out this morning and hit all the usual “garden” spots; Home Depot, Lowes and two different Wal-Marts.
I got potting soil, some geraniums and a couple of six-packs of white petunias for the pots I have at home.
As I was driving in to our house, the “little voice” told me to do the potting on the patio in back. So, I lugged two heavy bags of soil, the two heave (big) geraniums and the smaller ones and petunias around the house.
Ug!
I hadn’t gotten far into the project when Jolayne (sp) Call, our next-door neighbor came over and said her hose bib on her patio was broken and she couldn’t use that hose. She said they were throwing a wedding party on their patio this afternoon and asked if I wouldn’t mind washing down their patio, which I did and did some sweeping also.
I thought I should clean up our patio too to make it more presentable since it is right there close and visible. I also decided to place my plants close to their patio so they would make their party nicer.
I ended up going back to our Wal-Mart and getting more plants and potting soil. I intentionally didn’t get enough the first time out so as to gage how much I needed.
Everything turned out nice and it appeared the party went off well.
Later this evening, David came over with a cherry pie as a thank offering.
Monday, they are going to Lower, Alberta, Canada, where Jolayne is from and won’t be back until the last day of the month. They asked if I would take care of their potted plants while they are gone.
Jenn and Sierra were in an auto accident today. All are ok. I am sure Jenn will tell about it on her Blog.
This evening, Corey, Stacey, Jayden and Bailey and I had sushi at Won Won Wok.
Yum!
