Tree Sale

Well lets just say that the tree sale sucked! Now it is pretty much my fault. We should have been there earlier. The sale was from 9-2pm and we got there at about 10am. There was a line and we finally got in at 10:45 and there was almost nothing left. I asked a volunteer person what happened to all the trees? And he said "You have to get here by 11 to get what you want." I told him that I still had 5 minutes if that was the case! There were a few things, but not what I wanted to get. It was quite disappointing. Then we went to Whole Foods to get lunch. The chicken roll wraps that I normally get are no longer gluten free. So there went lunch and I just got a salad. Then we went to the paint store and got some paint since we were going to be in that area. I wanted to try a new Benjamin Moore no VOC paint in our back room. I got the primer and some paint samples/chips. We got home and I started to look up stuff on another class I was going to go to today. It is on fruit trees (but not sure I was going to be in the mood since I did not get my fruit trees). It turns out they will have a fruit tree sale next week. Yippie! This place is an hour away, but I thought it would be worth it to go twice if I could just get my trees! So I went. And guess what? They were selling some of the fruit trees that would be at next weeks sale. They had 3 of the 4 trees I wanted to get. The other one was one Charles wanted (a pear tree). They didn't have many trees so I bought mine before the class. But that meant I did not get a seat in the class before they filled up. So I waited. They said they would do a second class since there were so many people that didn't get in. After all that I am now a happy camper. I sure wasn't for a while though. Now next week I can get ready to start some seeds for this springs veggie garden!

Persistence gets you the tree you want - that should make your dog happy, too, eh?
