Which means we really cannot go anywhere or do anything. Coming back from Carmel Valley the traffic heading south was unbelievable! Of course, it is Saturday and sunny and warm! All the tourists are hear.
Went to 3 garage sales today. The first one I found a mini iron, for $5! I have been wanting one that size! And also got 2 sets of brand new in the packaging hankies; husband got some plant stakes.
The next one - nothing.
So the last one was in Carmel Valley and on the way there we stopped at the nursery. Got 2 tomato plants - one is a heirloom tomato called "Hillbilly Potato Leaf"! Some cucumbers, a zuchinni. Carrot seeds and radish seeds. I bought some coleus and planted them in the planter pot we bought last week. Also got a rosebush. Have been wanting a Mr. Lincoln but they are apparently very popular - you cant find them anywhere! So we bought one as an homage to both our mothers - it is called Mustard & Catsup rose! Yellow and red flowers!!!
Apparently I have been calling it by the wrong name today:
Then we went to the last one and it was rather serendipitous.
When we moved down here, we brought 2 very nice area rugs. But after a year, husband decided he was tired of them taking up space. So he got rid of them.
Today he said - you know, we should get a rug for the living room to make it easier for Bella to get up from laying down/sitting down. Of course I had to say - oh you mean, like the ones we got rid of?
So we were talking about where to look for a rug that wouldnt be outrageous. Drove up to the garage sale and they had a new rug, never used! About the size we wanted. Not a good color - nothing we would want to keep for long term (which we werent) - $8!!!!!
Got the coleus planted. Got the rest of the bird netting put on the raised beds. We were going to finish prepping the beds, and plant the rose but we both pooped out!
