FFA PLANT SALE DAY

Up earlier this morning to get chores done and then go with daughter to the plant sale out at the high school she works at to get some flower plants .
The morning is so pretty after the rain from last night.

She came over at 9:00 and left at 9:15 going to the sale. The FFA teacher was only allowing 2 people at once in the greenhouse and everyone had to make an appointment. Hubbie stayed home with IR and CA.
We got there a little early but the person before us hadn't showed up so we got right in.
The plants were smaller this year and the selection wasn't nearly as good as past years.
Guess not having students around to help with all the plants made a big difference. We found a few things anyway and loaded them into the Honda.
Next we both had bills to mail and then I dropped off the pay checks at market for the janitor and lady that is taking over manager duties. Our manager doesn't feel safe going there yet.
We then stopped at a local strawberry farm for some of the best tasting berries of the season so far. The mountain berries always have a better flavor than the flatland berries.
We came home and then had an early lunch. After we ate d-in-love brought g-son and RL up so she and daughter could work on their school online work.
The girls played together pretty well. CA is getting so big and wants to be a part of everything RL and IR do.

CA isn't happy at the fence we put up so that she has to stay in the living room with us.
I did a load of laundry from the bed covers and then got all last months things put away.
It is cold outside today only getting up to about 60 degrees and very windy with clouds moving in this afternoon so the girls had to play all afternoon inside.
After they left I carried all the new plants into the basement and made a place for them to stay until this "blackberry winter" cold spell is over.  This is what is called supporting your local school FFA program even in not so good years !!
These were some new plants they tried called Goldfish Plants. They are a tropical perennial plant that will need to be wintered inside as houseplants.
I got chores done and hubbie cut some boards to help hold the covers up off the plants that are in our raised beds in the coming nights with the temperatures dropping into the low 30's.
The wind is blowing tonight and there is still some clouds hanging around so they are saying it is going to stay around 40 tonight. Hopefully they are correct.
This beautiful full moon will peak tomorrow night but it is huge tonight. 

This full moon is called the "Flower moon" since it is at the beginning of the flowering month of May.
I came inside and hubbie and I relaxed and watched Survivor on TV tonight and then went to bed early to get warm !!!
It is already 40 degrees at 11:00 that scares me but I can still hear the wind whipping outside.
Thankful for the blessings of this day.
God Bless and Good Night
