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.
