Home Depot, Beautiful flowers, Avocado tree, Expensive pruners

I have been wanting to make a trip to Home Depot for a while now. What was my surprise but to see wall to wallflowers, shrubs, and all types of trees.

Hanging baskets

Petunias

Plants that do well in full sun

More hanging plants

These pretty flowers that are shaped into trees have no idea what they are called.

I have never seen Avocado trees for sale here but then again I have not actively looked for any.  The one we have had for about eight or ten years finally bit the dust. I have been saving my avocado pits but I think it would be years before it grows and bears fruit.

Avocado trees

At $44.98 it is not expensive...the price varies by height.  It would take me years to get it (if I even could) to grow this high.

The real reason for my visit was to buy a pruner capable of cutting up to 2-inch branches. They were expensive before but they have gone up in price even more!  Needless to say, I did not purchase one.

 Noticed the Homer Buckets have also had an increase in price.

I also wanted to check out the price of serrano, jalapeño, and other chili plants as I do not think I can make them grow from seeds.  Was told they do not carry serrano but they do carry jalapeños...too bad they were sold out.

Tabasco chilis

Tepin Chili

Gasoline prices have once again gone down.  A gallon of unleaded gasoline was selling for $1.979 at Walmart.

This morning we had a shower and it was on the cool side so I wore a jacket.  By the time I finished shopping it had warmed up and the sun was shining.  We had a low of 55 and a high of 77 degrees.

I do not know what I did but all of a sudden my large print went to tiny...:-(

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


Aunty Acid Saying of the Day

Finally ventured outside

We were out of milk, eggs, bread and countless other items.  I could no longer put it off so I bundled myself up and headed to WalMart.  I think I arrived during a lull and was in and out of there in no time flat.

Found a new product or at least it is new to me, as I had never seen it before...NyQuil Severe Cold and Flu.  It was even on sale for $6.97.  Whenever I have gotten the flu...I have come to rely on NyQuil...hope the same still holds true and I can finally kick this bug.

Even though I have some, heaven knows in what tote or box my face masks are located.  I use them when I operate the weed eater but now I need them to keep from passing my flu to my mother or other individuals when I go out.

Home Depot had some but they were mainly for painting and heavy duty stuff like sanding.  Did not feel like I wanted to pay $20.00 for them.  How I wish we had a Harbor Freight Store where I could pick them up for a dollar for a pack of four.  Sometimes, I sure do miss the big city :-(

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
