Loaded Down


When you run errands all day and buy everything in the county,
the bananas and tomato plants get to sit up front and keep you company! ha.

    2. We are so far north that it's better to buy them aready grown with buds on them. One already ahs a little green tomato! :) Our harvesting season is really short and almost into the fall here. This gives me a little head start!

  5. How nice for them to keep you company..and a banana is a good snack if you get hungry. HaHa. I did a lot of errands today too. Cleaned out the flowerbed by the bird bath and want to put some colorful ground cover around the base. I have a lot to do in the backyard before Father's Day BBQ so I'm doing it like eating an elephant...one bite (flowerbed) at a time!!!!

    That is a cute purse!

  9. who needs a pickup when you have empty front seat?! LOL - wow! those things are half grown already! the kids had off from school today so I kept two of the boys busy mulching the garden things, cutting the grass, and doing other odd jobs. By this afternoon I think they were wishing they were in school :) haha

    1. I got those at Sams Club. Some already had little green tomatoes about the size of marbles. :) I bought them there last year and they did really well. But my jeep was already full when I bought them..lol...but I managed to squeeze 4 plants in and around me.

      Nice day to be off of school. Another gorgeous day. Oh my.

      Delete
    2. It was gorgeous here as well. Both schools are over next week! YES!! I always feel sorry for them in the Spring when the weather is so beautiful to still be in school. They can hardly wait!

    3. Oh how fun! Our first day of summer is June 1st, so we have 2 more weeks! I wish this weather would last for months...it's wonderful! I looked for pussy willows today but didn't see any! :( But I still need to go to the garden center...I haven't bought any flowers yet!
      I'm too swamped in cookies! ha.

    1. I loved it, too...just made me smile. :) It really is the little things. ha. And I talked to them as I drove...told them they were going to the zoo! hahaha. and they were very dry so I told them I'd give them a good long drink when we got there. Listen to me....I really need to get out more often. lol! :)

      Delete
    2. At least they were good listeners and didn't talk back. And I bet they sat still too.
      Yikes! I think I need to give my strawberry plants a drink too!

    3. haha...oh, that is so true...they were quiet polite and had the best manners. They didn't move a leave and sat so nicely. lol.

  11. I know!! Sure would be nice if from April-June the months would repeat themselves and only then would we move on to the hot muggy stuff! I guess we'll just have to make sure we don't miss any while it lasts! :)

  17. so cute!
    when we were leaving my uncle's yesterday, he really liked my midsize SUV. He said he needed one so he could drive around his many lady friends and put all their walkers in the back.
    What a guy.

  21. You mean your whole car doesn't look like that? Mine does, lol! Son gigs me about going every where when I go out, to get what I need. Like I tell him, I do everything I can while I'm out. I don't want to go back for a short trip. For gas and for time, I want to get it all done.

  23. haha, I can see through the passenger window. When I used to work in phone book distribution, you should have seen some of the cars. People would load those cars to the point of turning SUV's into lowriders, lol I really am amazed that there really never was any accidents, I'd sit there in the office totally expecting one of the carriers got in a crash. I need my vision though, can't even take my parents car, as they've got a car seat in the back, totally freaks me out. If my little niece saw this post she'd start screaming NANA NANA, that girl has a banana addiction and bad lol

    1. Oh, that is too funny...cars loaded down with phone books obstructing the driver's view. lol. I got a jeep commander a couple of years ago and the view has a couple of blind spots...really took some getting used to. But as you can see, things in the front seat don't bother this driver. lol.

  26. You sure let the buying power shower
    As you made a buying tower
    In your front seat
    Can only imagine the back had another treat
    Or a ton
    As you went about your run
