I had a visit to the nursery on the agenda for yesterday and was glad that I sent a message asking if the nursery was off of Old Hwy. 24 vs. Hwy. 24. I got a response that yes it was, but we are closed today.
I looked at my notes and yes, I wrote down Open Tues. - Saturday. Duh!! So, we put this on the agenda for Tuesday. Hubby got up and went with me. This little nursery is located along the Amite River and we had to go over two wooden bridges with no railings. It was ERRIE!!!
I got two plum trees and we headed back home. I will keep my eye out on his specials because he has great prices. The plum trees were $19.95 each and are $29.99 and up everywhere else around here. Win!
I had a couple of more items to tag for the antique store. Got that done and fixed a late lunch. I ate and packed the car for the antique store. I only had one box of items tagged to put out so it did not take me long to tidy up there, put new things out and take some pictures. I use the pictures to post to Facebook group for the store and on other groups.
After that I stopped to top off the car with gasoline. I got 8.113 gallons for $25.xx. Crazy!! They are saying that gasoline will be $5.00 a gallon all over the U.S. by the end of the summer. Not good. Too bad we are not independent on oil and gasoline like we were under Trumps administration. Biden has ruined our country by taking away our drilling and making us dependent on other countries for oil. Pityful!!
Tomorrow we have 99% rain with bad storms moving in around midnight tonight. They will last throughout the day tomorrow. We are to expect high winds, hail and possible tornadoes. School has been canceled in several areas.
How was your day today?

It's smart to check around for prices. I'm glad I don't drive anymore. Prices are too crazy.

I'm glad you found a plum tree at such a good price.
Gas here is $3.29 per gallon, but that could change. That's what it was yesterday. Every day is different.
I'm sorry you have bad storms expected. Stay safe.
I'm glad you have everything ready for the antique store.

We got two of them! I had tried to get a satsuma tree previous on one of his sales and he sold out! So we need at least one other trip!
Storms blew right on though overnight and early this morning. Skies were clearing up by the time I left for the boutique so i did not have to drive in the rain! Our electricity was out before I left, no cell phone service or internet at home. At least I got some things done at the boutique!

@just4him It's a small citrus fruit you can hold in your hand. Do ya'll have Halo brand up there? They sell them in bags in the stores down here. It is opposite from a tangerine. The tangerines are tangy and satsumas are sweet. They are both about the same size.

@kareng Just tidied up the front planter and put in lots of wildflower seeds and some poppies as well. I'd like to get a shrub in, but no nursery to visit! Instead, I've put in some of those solar powered glow lights. Doesn't look too bad
