After I got home from work

As soon as I got home from work today, I turned around and went back.
Vicki, my lead teacher, had been saying she wanted to get a nice plant for our room, but she had not gotten around to it.
The plant in the picture has flourished this summer, and today I was home early enough that Bob and I could take the plant back to school before it closed for the long weekend.
Then we came home and ate, and went to a store for some "must haves" but not a full trip.
I am exhausted. It is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow. I am also supposed to participate in a yard sale. Wish me luck.

Did not have the sale due to rain. I have stuff for free and books and magazines and bedding and knick knacks and all kinds of stuff that my son needs rid of as well.

@GardenGerty It is always a good feeling to have a bit of a clean-out of stuff you don't need any more.

Do you still have restrictions inside the store?
I like your plant. We have a similar plant but I don't know the name if it.

Right now no restrictions but I bet they come back. This plant is commonly called arrohead, or nephthytis, or syngonium podifilium.

We got rained out. I am picking a rain date for later, though.

I did clip leaves and a long runner that was rooting. I also shooed all the bugs I could out of it.
