I was surprised to discover that Home Depot was open today, considering it is a holiday, but I sure was glad. Mother and father are getting paranoid in their old age and locked up the shovels, requiring me to go out and buy one; fortunately it only cost me six dollars. Every time I go through the nursery, I just want to buy every flower.

Anyway, on the left hand side was where I had my Dietes grandiflora; they are now in the front yard. Mother was going to sell the palm tree on the right, but I thought it would look good in King Acres, so she let me have it. I also took the other one, which is covered with lights. I need to test them to see if they work or not. After the party, I may replace the lights with some fragrant jasmine.
