I'm in soooooo much trouble!!! And it's all my neighbors' fault. They've been digging new flower beds and called me over to check it out. They had some real nice sized camellias & rhododendrons along with other beautiful plants. When I commented on their substantial investment in plants, they told me that Lowe's is having a HALF OFF CLEARANCE. Oops! Telling me that the Cheesecake Factory was giving away free slices all day long, as many as you want would have been less damaging (and I absolutely adore cheesecake). But then, that's what credit cards are for - they delay the pain of instant gratification. Unfortunately there are still consequences now - I've got to plant my new acquisitions in the ground. WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THIS BEFORE I LOADED UP THAT CART???????? It's so beyond HOT out, the ground is nothing but a bunch of rocks, and I now have seven new plants to find homes for. A red camellia, a purple lilac bush that will get 10 feet tall, a purple lilac tree that will get 8' tall, and four purple dwarf lilac bushes that will get 5' tall. Anyone else get the idea that I like lilacs? Oh, and there was so much more I wanted to get...... but they were closing and my cart was full. I was forced to leave the jasmine, honeysuckle, rhodies, & so many more behind. Despite the unwanted chore of making a place for them, I'm afraid I don't have the willpower necessary to stay away from Lowe's. I'll most likely be back there on Sunday looking for more treasures, limping and sore from finding homes for the seven I brought home tonight.
