Our shopping trip

Tonight Bob and I visited a local Nursery. This business is actually a large wholesale grower, but in the spring and fall they open their doors to the public for about a week. We usually try to go whenever they have the sale. It is a huge area covered with trees, bushes and perennial plants all for good prices. It's fun just to walk around and look at all the plants and trees. This year we were looking for a bush to replace one that suddenly died in our front landscaping, and we have been thinking of purchasing some blue spruce trees to put on the edge of our side yard. As you see in the picture above, we were successful. We found an arborvitae for the front and 3 nice blue spruce trees. They didn't seem so big on the cart, but when in was time to put them in the van, I thought we may have a problem! The arborvitae ended up in the middle of the van and the trees were crammed into the back. You can't tell on the picture but we had to tilt them just to get their tops to fit in the van. We had fun looking although bob thought I was a little "off" when I started taking pictures for the blog. He just shook his head. The trees and bush are all home now, they just have to be planted!
