The ‘Bonnie Truck’ is like the ‘Ice Cream Truck’ to us Gardeners!

I’ve got my pocket full of quarters saved from my allowance, but I’m not sure if I can run fast enough to catch either of the those trucks anymore. ;)

P.S. My orchid is still blooming away. Just one more bloom at the tip to open; seven are open now. :)

Your pocketful of quarters is gonna have to be big and hearty to buy even one ice cream treat these days, and don’t get me started on the Bonnie plants!

We are on our way home from Ohio. Decided to just stop for a quick look around at the antique mall in Springfield, which is my favorite one, and where we seem to find many unexpected treasures. I found a couple more today! Someone was selling a blue teapot like my Mama had, and this one isn’t chipped. I have no idea who in my family got her original, maybe my oldest brother. I’m happy with duplicates if it’s something that brings back happy memories.

I also found a utility table that will be the beginning of my new potting bench! I will have to tweak it to make it be exactly what I want, but my creative juices have been going since first deciding that I needed something in better shape. The process has begun! I’m excited!

Across the street from the antique mall is a garden center that was VERY busy, and of course, the Bonnies were out in full force. I found some nice things to go into planters in various spots on my front path and porch. I didn’t go crazy. I limited myself to 8 plants! I will try this year to plant what I purchase quickly, and not go overboard. We will see how that works out.
