Considering dogs’ superior olfactory ability, do you
ever wonder if they mind smelling like “wet dog?”
As I write this, wafts of Mamie are floating up from where she’s lying on the floor. She was outside “helping” me plant, and when we came in one look at those black (normally white) little feet bought her an immediate trip to the kitchen sink.

The
weather’s received the memo that it is indeed Memorial weekend; it’s perfect
for digging in the dirt. The clematis is settled in its new home, and the
cosmos is tucked into the flower bed.
The
potted plants proved to be a challenge. Halfway through the process I realized
I needed more potting soil. Off to Home Depot I went, where I had to stand in
line just to enter, only to learn they were sold out of what I wanted. Here it was
only Friday afternoon, and it was busy, busy. Heaven help the weekend shoppers.
It looks like the whole world plans to head to the backyard, and they all need
potting soil.
On
to the catch-all store, Ocean State Job Lot, where you can buy underwear,
cut-rate cookies, rugs, and garden supplies. Sold out again.
Next
down the road was Lowes, where it was also packed, but I was happy to stand in
line in the 85 degree sun since at last I found what I needed. 
I keep thinking the shortage of "stuff" has to end sometime!! But I am perhaps not the smartest person when it comes to supply and demand and the economy.
ReplyDeleteNow you make me want to wait a bit more. Funny how we are all getting the urge at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that the endless queuing finally paid dividends. Which reminds me, I also need potting mix. And a few other garden supplies. I am hoping that our cold change will keep others out of the garden centre. No doubt hoping in vain.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the world turning out to garden. My sister and I tried two nurseries this morning, without turning in. Then I remembered one run by an old family, not in the thick of it, and it was busy, but accessible. Best, we paid $20 for $50 of plants.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you finally found what you needed. I like that support stand you have for the clematis.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too. It came courtesy of the past owners!
