Mini Vacation....

My internet was down the other day, and because we live soooo far out in the country, the maintenance guy would not be coming till the next day. I took a little jaunt to "trade days" looking for a couple more blueberry bushes. None were available, but what I did find was....
This beautiful wisteria vine for planting next to the future trellis near the herb garden, and it was at a bargain price! I also found some grape tomato plants, several varieties of sweet peppers, and a hen and chicks plant. On the way home I passed a place where the lady grows beautiful hollyhocks and many varieties of irises, all along a stretch of sloping bank along her property. I had been going to stop sometime (for the last 3 years) so today I did. We had a nice talk about all kinds of perennials, and she willingly dug several varieties of irises for me.
She said we should go around back where she had several more. This is what I saw as we rounded the corner behind her garage.....
oh .... my....! a pvc frame for a greenhouse!!! Just about the size I wanted to build! Now, I am a sight learner, so to see this and how it was put together, and listen to her instruction was like eating a big piece of cake! only better.... Our Father knows the desires of our hearts, and delights in giving us good things. I felt double blessed!
