Flower Bed Nearly Done

I fixed a sausage and egg scramble for breakfast and then we took the HHR and headed to Campbellsville. We checked out Big Lots and Wal-Mart, then bought some flowers at Lowes. We ate lunch at Sonic. Linda didn't think much of the flowers at Wal-Mart or Lowes so we decided to take a different way home and see if we could find another place that sold flowers. We went through Greensburg and between there and Columbia we passed a small place. I turned around and pulled into their parking lot. It was just what Linda had been looking to find. The lady had a small pole barn building with all sorts of decorations and knickknacks They had two greenhouses with flowers in one and vegetables in the other. We picked out several flowers and loaded them in the back of the HHR and headed on home. In Columbia, I stopped and filled the HHR with gas. Since purchasing the HHR, we had drove 381 miles and used 12.3 gallons of gas. That figures out to over 30.9 MPG, which I am very happy about.
     
We unloaded the flowers once we were home and worked on the new flower bed we had started a few days ago. We brought the lilies to the bed and split them with a machete. Then I laid out the plants and dug the holes while Linda planted them and smoothed the dirt around the plants. After we had planted all the lilies, Stacey came out and helped us spread mulch around the lilies and cover the flower bed.

Linda and I would like to thank Kim and Kenny Bourke for bringing us all the lilies we planted in this flower bed!

Linda fixed us supper and then I went and bush hogged around the hay fields at the other farm. It was way past dark when I finished and the lights we put on the tractor worked well.
