He he he! I must admit it took me a while for it to register that he thought I was homeless. I had parked my car way over in another parking lot and had pulled up one of their shopping carts to be able to get any "finds" back to my car easier. Once I figured out why he was offering me the dollar bill all I could do was say "Thank you kind sir". I reached my arm over the top of the rim of the dumpster and he handed me the dollar and walked off.

Speaking of shopping carts, this is special treat from one of my dumpster diving expeditions. The store had closed down and they had all these carts in the back by the dumpsters. The one I got rolls perfectly fine but it is sort of small. I have been sizing up the shopping carts at Franks Nursery and Crafts in anticipation of their final liquidation days and I am thinking their shopping carts will more adequately meet my gardening needs because they are much more spacious. These roll wonderfully over driveways, and gravel, and lawns. No sense buying one of those expensive gardening wagons that you have to bend over to use. Get yourselves one of those handy dandy shopping carts complete with the front basket that you can put your small tools and gardening accessories in. Gosh, I couldn’t help myself!

Oh oh oh, I got an almost brand new box window fan once. Helps to keep air circulating when germinating seeds to avoid damping off! And... the lo to hi settings worked so when I turned it on, my little seedlings didn't get uprooted! And then there was the broken box window fan. I pulled off the top grate. I plan on using it for a recessed herb box to keep squirrels out. I need to find a few more broken box window fans as I need at least 2 more grates to be able to complete my design.

I got a really great ceramic planter out of my neighbor's garbage can while she was standing right there. One itsie bitsie chip in the glaze and she tossed it??? What is wrong with people these days!

Please tell me there is somebody else out there who dumpster dives so I do not feel like a complete and unadulterated idiot?
