LOL Liz. You would think he would know! Though perhaps he prefers to keep his own magical thinking that I had no intention of going plant shopping. Poor guy!

Well I left my house soon after 8 am and just got back now. I am so beat. I am getting too old for a whole day on the plant go! Th esale was just great and I went on a cdocent tour. Started a second tour but it got too hot for me as I was dreessed for the cold morning so off I went to a plant friend who lives in Walnut Creek. She had some fancy bomarea seeds from the Strybing for me. Her yard is worse than mine so I love looking at all that plant clutter. Made me feel more sane. LOL She must have well over 1000 clivia. Talk about a brain in constant stutter.

Then I went Orchards in Layfayette and WOW you would never know the nurseries are hurting. All decked out for Halloween and they even had a band and singing going one. So much fun. Plus in great secrecy they are doing their Christmas trees. It looks like it will be fancy again, last year was kind of a let down there.

Then on to Longs where a customer told me and everyone else that CVS was closing the plant department and then CVS was moving to where the Safeway was and Safeway was taking over the Long's spot. I later saw the boss of the plant department and she said they still do not know if they will survive or not. So lets hope! They had a half price sale on pots again so of course I had to get lots just in case they do close. LOL

Well Tom is yelling for me to go out to dinner.

Some plants at the sale at Ruth Bancroft.
