Being with my Mom
I had Sean drop me off at my mom's and then he went on to his session at Penn State for 4 hours. He's up to 16 out of the 30. He said the math he was doing today wasn't hard at all. Maybe he'll be able to get into a higher math class!
So Mom looks a little beat up considering she has shingles. Her poor tummy and side look like she painted raspberry jam on herself.
I wanted to keep her company and do a few garden related things for her too. She ate the bacon on an English muffin I brought her. I then headed outside to water everything. It doesn't take as long as it does for me to water my plants, but she doesn't have certain parts of her garden laid out right-like the paths are too narrow and I was tripping on rocks or slate. I decided to plant the things she had bought at Boscov's last week. Her perennial a Gaura, like I bought was whithering up. I planted a butterfly bush, portulaca, petunias, a few lilies and some impatiens and ivy in pots. I weeded one of her beds. I was dripping in sweat! The bottom of my hair was wet 3" up!
Then Mom wanted to go to this produce place to replace some petunias in hanging pots that pooped out. She had them in too shady of a location. I drove her Sable (a lot different than my Windstar!) to 'The Produce Junction' and they had impatiens in hanging baskets for $2.99! Mom was going for the leggy ones, but I was suggesting she get fuller ones. That's just what she needed for the front of her house! They also had very full plants-all kinds and colors 4 for $5.00. So we each got the four pots, though when I was dividing them, I only had 3. I bought some pinwheel zinnias (I believe this is what they are called), another plant with star-like pink flowers and some celosia in reds for Sean's garden. I bought another miniature rose, so I hope that will do ok.
We got Chinese food (too much fried stuff) and after we ate, Sean and I headed for the Value City near mom so I could check out their reduced stuff. I got a cow grill-I may try and sell this one (it looks just like the pig photographed here), some neat metal birds for near the pond, and a handmade rug with a sunflower design for under the computer chair. I got a few more dirt cheap yard ornaments.
When we got home I jumped in the shower and then started to look through Collectibles, Inc. catalog. They also had some neat garden stuff. I don't want to overdo it outside. I have a big enough yard, but I try and keep the decorations to cute or whimiscal things. What I liked were the solar power fiber optic lights and any of those solar powered things. I have one near the pond and it looks awesome at night.
