80 degree February Day

I was hanging out in the back yard today when I saw something strange.

When you live in an old house, you can find some weird stuff buried in the yard.

It turns out it is an old planter for a tree (or something that can be used as a planter for a tree). Anyway, I dug it up and emptied it out.

Yes, I was wearing shorts on Feb. 22nd

After this, I started looking at Meador Nursery's website, and decided to convince Kelly to go with me to check it out.

They have free-roaming cats.

It was a fun trip, even though I didn't buy anything. Meador had most of the plants I want to get: a grape vine, a lemon tree, and a fig tree- and various vegetables. Their priced seemed slightly higher than I would prefer, but it's a small, family-run business. I'd rather support them than bLowes or Home Despot. I wish I had taken more pictures, especially of the garden statues.

I saw one of the staff petting a cat. You don't see that at big chain stores.

This plant is soft and smells good.

$50 is a lot for a lemon tree, but Damn.

Look at it!

Another thing I like about Meador is the random plants growing in haphazard containers and locations.
This is some sort of strange pepper plant.

I know, real mature...

Yes please.

After the trip here, we took the long way home and saw this sign. I had to take a picture.

This is Texas, after all.

Next I'd like to check out the Four Seasons Nursery on University to see what they have to offer. My neighbor recommended them.
