Gas was 3.09 at the Texaco and QT in Burleson, 3.12 at the Exxon in Brownsboro. Sure seemed cheap!

Those 2 little green plants look sort of lonely. One is so lonely, I didn't count it.

At Lowes, yesterday, saw a Platitor. A Platinum that had been sort of Raptorized. I was not too impressed.

Give them time .....they'll get bigger.....4-0 wide and 8-0 tall......I didn't want an overcrowding problem like what happened up front......

Menard's had all their gallon shrubs on sale.....got those for 3.00 each and there's some more in the upper part that were 2.50 each.........so 80.00 in shrubs for 16.50....
