Cheap Art

Today I had to run by Donny’s work to pick up my Aldi bags that we had put in his trunk when we went camping. He asked me to run by Dollar Tree since it’s next door to Aldi. I really and truly went in with the only intention of getting the bleach and spray bottle he asked for. But then, you know you just have to walk around the store, I found this really cool sun made out of metal. The metal was a weird silver that looked kind of awful, but I really liked the sun.

I brought it home and spray painted it. I didn’t know where to hang it, but then I realized it would look good against our turquoise door. So that’s where it ended up. For $3.00, I think it looks pretty good.

Aldi also had some good looking watermelons. We always leave some meat on the rind for the chickens because they love watermelon.

I love wild looking plants. The more unkempt the better. Aldi had some really pretty flowering ones. My favorite color is yellow so that’s the one I grabbed. I also had to re-pot the palm that was in the rooster because it was flat out dying. I think the metal gets hot and the plant didn’t like that.

It’s suppose to be nice tomorrow but rain the next few days after that. I’m planning on rearranging our flower beds. They are a little sparse right now. I’ll take some pics to show how it goes, hopefully.

P.S.

My brother in law sent the photos he took of Hannah. I can’t wait to share some of them. They turned out so good.
