Universe Delivers

Yesterday, at around 2:30, after the delivery truck experienced some difficulties, we pulled off 9 carts of hanging baskets, perennials, geraniums and one cart with 30 Bubblegum Pink Supertunias. I also asked the Universe for Diamond Frost and Bacopa for Leslie's order and that came also. I didn't know she needed yellow straw flowers so we didn't get them.

I was working on the perennial yard plants until 3:30 and then decided to get the 15 window boxes worked up and out of the way. I had to mix soil and get that all straightened away and had to keep my eye on customers who were helping themselves to my plants while I worked. Oy! I finished up at around 5:30 (an hour after my scheduled quitting time) an then proceeded to spend all I earned yesterday -- on plants for my own garden.

My friend Kay emailed me about a good deal on travel with AirTrans so I have to go on the website and buy some tickets for my next trip to Atlanta.

Slambo is coming home this afternoon after a week with her grandfather. She had a good visit but it was difficult for her to see how he lives. Asleep by 9 and not up till noon. My dad stopped going to the exercise classes for pulmonary upper body strength and has been getting progressively weaker. No muscle mass. And he has always suffered from depression and refuses to take the "mood" pills his doctors recommend. He says they make him feel "strange". I guess feeling good instead of depressed is "strange".

I'm tired. I'm supposed to be working in my garden but all my muscles ache from working seven days straight. I need one day of rest. I think I need to work on evening out my farmer tan while I sip coffee on the back stoop. So that's what I intend to do. See you later.
