Cherokee Rose at the Park

We've had a beautiful day. Our gas tank was almost empty so we went for a fill up at the nearest gas station.We paid 2.29 per gallon and driving on up the road the next gas station was .10 lower per gallon. I was a bit taken aback but that was that.We went to the park and I did my walk while my better half found a bench in the shade and read his Time magazine. I walked the full two miles so I'm very satisfied. I'm getting back to my old routine.It was warm but not too hot to enjoy my walk. Wild flowers were blooming and trees were covered with fresh green leaves. I probably shouldn't have but I broke off a sprig of Cherokee rose to bring home and plant in a pot on the deck. It might grow. I used to plant sprigs of roses and other plants in my yard and they took root and grew. We'll see. Now it's time to cook the last meal of the day. I'll have to look at my better half's diet plan to see exactly what to fix. It's pretty flexible as I can chose most anything, it's the portion sizes that count. I'll make my comments later from my ipad. It will not submit my articles so I'm doing this first on the computer.

Gas keeps going up and down the scale, I wish they'd finally get it down to less than a dollar a gallon .... gotta dream

Yeah, that would be so kool @RubyHawk I keep wondering why the fuel hasn't changed much since the inception of the auto, you'd think by now we could run a car on steam or something.

@Lupita234 I believe you're right. I suppose more people are out driving in the good weather.

Ten cents a gallon is quite a difference. We're always trying to suss out where the cheapest petrol is.

@JudyEv I like to stop and put gas in the tank when we see the lowest price, but my better half likes to wait until the tank is nearly empty.

It seems weird to me, we have several gas stations within half a mile of us and they all have different prices.

Oh it sounds like the perfect day for that walk! I'm headed back into the pool tomorrow for my water aerobics and then I'll see if I can do a little walking around the neighborhood over the weekend. The weather sure is getting nicer!

Sounds good, I'm ready for the pool, but it wont be open for a few weeks. We've had storms and tornadoes all around us today. Our power just came back on.

I like seeing wild flowers when driving up the highway where they are sown along the road.

Good job on your walk! Cherokee roses are absolutely beautiful! Probably one of my favorite flowers, I have never seen one in person though.

Cherokee rose is my favorite flower. We have them growing wild but most people don't plant them in their yard. I had a yard full before we moved to an apartment. To me they are prettier than the big showy roses.

@RubyHawk They are very pretty! I would love to actually see one in person haha but I would probably have to travel to the east for that

@amadeo (32604) We have gas stations all up and down our road but we stopped at the one right in front of our apartment. I cant wait for our Quick Trip to open again. They closed down for remodeling and they are just about ready to open.

I noticed that difference in gas price yesterday. Only ours was 10 cents a litre different by driving a couple of miles...that's about 37 cents a gallon difference.

@Morleyhunt (12997)I would drive a couple of miles for the difference. Our Chevron is usually the highest price. We never stop there.
