Buying Flowers Near Pall Mall

It was raining during the night and continued through the morning. I checked the radar and thought we could drive to Pall Mall TN while it was raining and it might clear off. Stacey was ready to go some where but Linda thought it would be too nasty to look at flowers in the rain. We weren't doing much while at home, so we decided to go. We had been there before, but I didn't remember the country roads we had to take to get to the greenhouses. We took the laptop and used the DeLorme GPS to get us there without missing a turn. On the way it was pouring down rain and Linda was teasing me about saying it was going to 'clear off', but as we got closer the skies were getting brighter. We pulled into the nursery and luckily the rain had stopped. We walked through several greenhouses looking at several thousands of plants and items being readied for sale. The lady working there said they supply seventeen Wal-Marts with flowers ready to sell. We picked out several perennials and a few annuals, paid and headed towards home. On the way home, Stacey declared she was 'starving' and wanted to eat, so I drove us to a placed near Static TN called the Farmhouse. We ate and then drove home through more rain.
 
I'm not sure how much rain we had while we were in TN, but the creek was up, though not out of the banks. We planted six of the perennials we had purchased and I carried two cement pots to the barn where Linda was painting. She painted those with a base coat, then a dry brush effect and once they are finished we will plant the annuals in the pots and set those on the front porch.
