Trees

On Monday after cleaning up poop, watching the puppies play in the mud outside, then track it in. . . there wasn't much else to do besides putting away dishes & washing 3 loads of laundry.

Hubby came home early so that we could do all our "shopping" we had wanted to do. Stop at the dry cleaners to drop off his leather jacket; stop at Aslin-Finch to get 40 more pounds of dog food; stop at Riverview Landscape to take advantage of the 75% off sale they are having on trees & shrubs. We got ten 18-foot trees and a shrub for $500. If the kids don't like what we picked out, I will have hubby put them on our property. I especially wanted a couple that we picked out. See pic.

Also stopped at Costco but they were all out of the red mums. Got K the brown ones instead. Still beautiful. Also picked up 100 tulip bulbs for me; and 50 for K. Queen of the Night; Bastogne; and Pink Diamond. Beautiful. I want more. And more. Never can have too many tulips.

Then made a quick stop at the Starbucks for lattes; Central 4WD for hubby to pick up some parts; then onto getting my nails done in Airway Heights. Went to the kids' house afterwards. Matt had gotten done dig-dugging all their yard. He was even sweeping up the floor inside. Ordered food for us from the "Thai Place" and K picked it up for us on her way home.

It was sweltering hot in their home. Got hubby to call the air-conditioning guy while we were there. Also discussed shelving in the garage with the kids.

Hooked up the trailer & drove home. And drove. And drove. It seems like such a long drive - then hubby is so worn out by driving by the time we get home.
