Farmer Joe Making Pretty

Joe and I ran errands this morning during the rain. Leaving the afternoon free for Joe to do yard work. A trip to the local nursery to purchase a Meyer Lemon tree for the sunroom, and flowers, basil, and Italian parsley for the planter boxes on our front porch.

Hosta planted in new retaining wall on south side of our property. The partial fence is

the next door neighbor's house, they only have the one wall in front to

block off their side patio from the street.

Then we went to Menard’s in Buffalo to purchase a four-foot ladder, potting soil, and a larger pot and rolling plant stand for the lemon tree. I was the chauffeur. We left the house at 9:00 am and finished around 12:30 pm. We stopped at Culvers for a bit of lunch to eat in the car on the way home. I like their drive-thru set-up. You order, pay for your food at the window, receive a sticker and then move to an available waiting slot in the parking lot. Your food is brought to your car window when the order is ready. This means smaller orders aren’t sitting in a line waiting for someone parked at the window with a big order.

Culver’s sticker made me smile:
