A Little Field Trip

 We got an email notice last week that Carpinitos Produce Stand and Garden Center was open. I was ready to clear out the Christmas greenery in my porch pots and plant primroses. Besides, we needed to go somewhere. So we did. 

I found very pretty primroses for a good price. 

I picked one of every color except white. I also found a lovely Hellebore for a very good price, so I grabbed that too. 

Then we just walked around to see what we could see.

I like this pretty Mexican pottery.

A dragon fly landed in my cart. 

Since Carpinitos deals mostly in local produce, they did not have any for sale yet. We enjoyed the flowers and the chance to get out of the house. There were very few people to have to avoid. 

Since the rain held off into the afternoon, Tom and I went out to do some work. He finished pruning the maple tree and picked up. Then he cleaned up the bed under the window and transplanted a hardy fuchsia that needed to be moved and found a place for that new Hellebore. 

 

I worked here. I got all of the greens removed and the wreath taken down and taken apart.

I got rained out just as I was getting ready to plant the primroses, so I'll have to show you that in another post. We should be able to get out again tomorrow, perhaps between showers. 

I'm not ready to get down on my knees yet, but as long as I don't bend over too far or too long, I can do a few things. It felt good to be able get out and be productive. And have flowers!
