Saturday Shopping

We had signed up for flowers for today at church in honor of our 29th anniversary which was last Monday. Scroll down for Pink Saturday post about that last week. Anyway, last time we did flowers we had done plants in pots which worked out very nice as an alternative to a vase of flowers. Besides I did not feel like arranging flowers this time and we forgot to call the florist on time for a nice arrangement from there.

So off to Home Depot we go. I had a $25 gift card for Home Depot that was burning a hole in my pocket. When we visited a few weeks ago I saw this Garden Rocker seat and decided I needed that to make it easier on my back when working in the yard. Notice the price in the corner $24.95. So I figured my gift card would take care of that.

I also spotted this portable potting tray and saw that it was on sale for $6.00. Because we live in a mobile home in a park, we are not supposed to have a lot of extra stuff around the outside of the house except for garden related things and patio furniture. Not everyone adheres to that though. But we as good citizens try to do the best we can. So I thought this portable potting tray would be very helpful in giving me a place to repot and what ever. I can put it on one of the side tables on the deck and sit in a chair to work with it. Another way to ease my back. After all the pain I had been going through earlier, I need to be more conscious of what I am doing to prevent my back from getting so bad again. Physical Therapy sessions helped me to heal.
Below are the plants we decided to get along with the two new blue pots. Here is how they look in the altar area. We were very pleased with the effect. The first picture is to the left side of the altar.
And this second one is to the right side. The dark fabric you see on the edges of the photos are banners that hang to the outside of these shelves. After the service we take the plants home. Now I all I need to do is keep them alive. I saved the care tags to help me know what to do.
Now for the fun part. After we checked out I looked closely at the sales tag and realized I had gotten the Garden Rocker for $18 something. That means both the Garden Rocker and the Portable Potting Tray were covered by my gift card. How cool is that?

Happy and Blessed Sunday to you!
