Got up early today and had a full slate scheduled. Chris and I went to Lowes and Greenlife Nursery. We were looking for shrubs to plant around the house. I found a good deal on bulbs at Lowe's. I suppose it's a little late for them but I think they will be okay. I was able to get tulip, hyacinth, and narcissus bulbs for around 15 to 25 cents each. I also purchased a large amount of dirt for the garden.
We also went to various places looking for a new mailbox. We found one and Chris started to replace the old one when we got home. I finished the job for her and she was happy. She likes the way it looks. We also bought a vinyl cover for it that has a Black Lab on it. I think she would like to have a Black Lab pup again. We lost Molly, our Black Lab, about 2 years ago.
I also got in the garden and started to clean it out. I was able to bring the old horse trough up and place it in it's new spot. Once in it;s place I began to fill it with dirt and get it ready for new plants. I may place some of the new bulbs in it and then come in with snapdragons. That is the plan for now. It will probably change tomorrow. I also cleaned out the chrysanthemums and they look much better now. I still need to get some more flagstone for the pathway.
I almost forgot; we went to the Cedar Chest to look around. Chris found a basket and I found an old Golden Book. I've got a scan of the Golden Book below.
The book carries a 1947 copyright and appears to be in great shape.
Better go for now. Will blog tomorrow, BYE!
