"A dollar short and a day late!"  Or is it "A day late and a dollar short."?  Anyway, that's how I feel this morning.  I took off on a couple errands this morning thinking it was Saturday!  Guess what?  It isn't!   Oh well...

The weather is nice out here, bright and sunny with a few lazy clouds.  Temperatures in the low 70's.  Back east the temperatures are about the same but, once again, there is rain in the forecast for New York but not out here where they need it!

So among the items I needed to pick up are plastic containers...not real large but not small.  Why, you ask?  Well a friend out here has given me several  tomato and pepper plants...large ones...to bring home.  I figured plastic containers would be best.  

I am not going to put them in the bed of the truck but in the back seat area.  I have a crew cab so there's a lot of room but I will still have to put things in the bed.  Mostly my craft items will go back there so I want them in a plastic container.

I am also going to visit some nurseries out here for a few additional vegetable starter plants because all the seeds I started back home are basically gone.  Between the extreme heat and lack of water, they didn't survive.  

And when I hosted a chat with folks from New York this week, they advised that there are very few starter plants left in their area.  So with that information and the loss of my starter plants, I thought it would be wise to pick up a few plants out here and bring them home to plant!

I will be leaving on Monday for home so I won't be posting on my blog until I get there...either Wednesday or Thursday...probably Thursday.  So I might post on Friday.  I am going to go a bit slower on the way home so I can stop and take pictures...especially at the gorge and dam.

I've been mostly reading and visiting so no craft pictures today.  I hope all of you have a fantastic weekend.  Plan something fun like a picnic in a park, or checking out garage sales, or visiting an attraction.  Go out and enjoy the weather, nature and a unique activity...

Talk with you late next week...

Be safe, be happy and enjoy life...
