Our Walmart still has pallets full of dirt/mulch/compost marked down. I don’t need anything, but some new Gardener’s are going to get some great deals!

I want those curved pavers to go around and be stacked up our metal burn ring - it would look much nicer! :)

Just got 1.65” of rain in about half an hour. Storms were to be hit or miss this evening ... we got ‘hit’.

At least I don’t need to water ... gardens were looking really parched earlier. I watered the dahlias around 2:30 & put a row cover for shade over 2 of them that looked miserable. All the flowers, herbs & peppers should be much happier now.

I was on a MISSION today while SIL and I were 'Junking.' Major, MAJOR scores in the area of adding to our collection of 'Jewel Tea Autumn Leaf' pieces.

Aladdin Tea Pot w/infuser

Serving Bowls

Water Pitcher

Everything is in MINT condition and I brought it all in for under $100.00! Score! Mom & I are adding serving pieces - we both have cream-colored China that works well with it, so we don't need all the dishes. Just in remembrance to her Mother who had all the pieces collected over many years from The Jewel Tea Man. We will share/swap out as to who needs what when we're hosting on holidays.

My Rule: Five things came IN to the house, so five things gotta go OUT of the house. I'll be rooting through the China Hutch to see what can leave.

Warning on Wal-Mart’s Cedar Mulch *BLEND* with the word *blend* in small print.

No knowing how much cedar is actually in there, but based on the cost and how little lasted from one year to the next, not much.
