Shopping and Planting (never ends)

This morning Renea and I went to SAM’S.  She bought a lot more than I did J  When we left there we drove to Opelika Ford so Renea could pick up Kevin’s truck.  He had taken it there for an oil change.  Then we headed home.

 

After lunch I planted a couple of the plants I bought last week.  I planted the clematis and mandevilla.  I had bought a trellis for each of them.  Neither have any blooms on them, but they look healthy.  I wound the vines around the trellis and the deck railing.  I added a couple of orange celosia for color.  My yellow irises are blooming.  The iris in the rectangular box have no buds as yet.

I am a little disappointed in the cement containers.  The flowers/dirt seem to dry out really fast and the plants are not doing well.  My next door neighbor (Lanora) told me I should have lined them with plastic. 
 

Watched DWTS tonight.  I was not surprised at who got cut.  Now it is going to be tough.  I like all of the rest of the dancers.

 

Now it’s Tuesday.  Another sunny WARM day.  We are getting close to summer temps.  This morning I went to Tigertown.  First stop was Books A Million.  Only bought one book.  I didn’t even look around much.  They had about two dozen people taking inventory.  They were sitting on the floor in the aisles, usually two per aisle, and their counters were beeping non-stop.  I left.  Next stop was a haircut; then on to Kroger.  After shopping I filled the gas tank and headed home.

 

After putting the groceries away, I had lunch.  Then I went outside and planted a few more flowers.  I’m still not finished.  It was hot and I had to stop.  Came in and laid on the couch for a while.  After supper I sat on my swing on the deck for a while.  The deck is in the shade in the late afternoon and evening.  It was really peaceful.  The neighborhood was quiet.

 

Wednesday – I finished planting the flowers in their containers.  I even added a few more of the large marigolds to the bed of marigolds.  The front of the house and deck is coming along.  I have a lot of weeding to do along with spraying some roundup. 

I filled out the paperwork for medical and prescription reimbursements.  Also, I received a form and some information from the Atlanta Dead Letter Post Office informing me that they had found a piece of paper with my address and Jana’s address just laying around.  They wanted to know if I could give them information about this and if it had been attached to a box and what was in the box.  To make a long story short, it was actually on the box of books that Jana sent me.  She used the same box that I had used to send her some books.  Needless to say the brown paper wrapping had to be ripped off to get to those pieces of paper.  I returned the form with a letter.  We will see what happens next. 

 

P.S.  Jana received the same form from them on Thursday with her brown wrapping paper with the addresses.  They had to have torn that off the box. 

 

Something strange is going on.  I have a feeling we will never see that box of books!
