Here I try again

Let's see if the bluebells by my old shed photo actually appears.
We did not go to the pool this morning. I slept poorly all night then about the hour before I needed to get up I slipped into kind of nightmare. I got up pretty much at the usual time but wasn't feeling like I should drive.
Later I did go to Ace Hardware. I bought three bags of dirt and one of compost because they were on sale. I always need dirt. Then I went to our smaller grocery store and bought- you guessed it- food. They actually had mushrooms that looked edible.
Hubby and I sat on our backyard swing and ate a dry pistachio muffin, piece of cheese and tangelo slices. The largest apple tree is blooming sweet pinky white flowers. Just lovely.
Tomorrow will be work but gardening fun. My gardening buddy always has plants to sell. She will be over tomorrow with several. Hubby is going to help me plant two pretty big round gardens with whatever flowers buddy surprises me with. I hope our other helper will be here cause before we do any fun gardening we have bags of dirt to load onto the dolly. Fifty pounds of dirt moving from the trunk to the dolly is work.
I hope you all are doing well and staying away from tornados.

We had bluebells growing at our last house. My aunt lived there before Pretty and I rented that house and she planted all kinds of flowers everywhere. They're beautiful!
I need to repot several of my indoor plants this year but need to buy more dirt and some potting mix to put in with the dirt. Several of my kitchen plants have worn divots in the middle of their planters of dirt.

@sallypup I don't think I'd be happy if I didn't have green and growing things around me.

@DaddyEvil Same here. I didn't like the idea of moving to town again. I looked for a house that had green around it before I decided to choose it. Apartment living would really hurt me.

Your bluebells look nice Lenore.
Sorry you didn't sleep well last night
Wonder what made you feel like you thought you shouldn't drive.
You had a pretty busy day.
And it sounds like you will be busy again tomorrow gardening

@Ineeddentures I was kind of headachy and groggy. I don't drive when I think I won't be totally aware if another driver does something weird. A guy in a vehicle did slam on his brakes in front of me cause of the guy in front of him. I was glad to be awake enough to quickly brake.

Aye right enough
If we don't feel 100% we really shouldn't drive
