PLANTS $1

My day was planned out, put the room together that I just painted. You know, make it look more like a room than some sort of construction site. But.... the phone rang, it was Casi, plants are all $1 at Wal-Mart. My shoes were on in a second and I was out the door to pick up Melanie and Mei-Ling. We were going plant shopping.

We got there and the roses that I have been wanting lots of, the knock out roses, were $1 for the 5 gallon size. I was thrilled last month with my $5 knock out roses. The Law of Attraction at work here, I wanted an entire hedge row of these bushes. Melanie and I were shopping like someone had given us a 30 minute free run on the store. I found palm trees, ornamental grasses, iris, Daylilies, sagebush and so much more. We really were not shopping with the size of the car in mind. Somehow we found room for about 50 plants in the station wagon. Mei-Ling did sorta look like she was in the jungle, her car seat surrounded by plants. After telling Emery about our good deals, he said to go back and get more, so I headed back to town and filled the car again. I didn't take pictures, but you can imagine. If you ever saw the Keeping Up Appearances episode where Hyacinth decided to have a garden theme candle light dinner, after some contact with a well connected person with a garden center, you know how Richard looked driving home with all their plants for the dinner. That was me today ! Now I had better get to work on that room.

Emery is going to be busy planting tonight, about 50 plants worth. We are doing our part to GO GREEN in one more way....
