Loose in the Garden center

 

Went shopping a week before Thanksgiving to get my decorations. First stop was Produce Junction in Glenside. Hope to put them up the weekend after Thanksgiving.

I put them in the yard to keep them hydrated since we are expecting some rain. Also sprayed them with Wilt Proof to prevent moisture loss and hopefully keep it nice and fresh until after the New Year.

A mini African violet and a small green foliage plant that looks like ivy. I should have asked what it was. Hopefully they are similar in water and light needs. The violet is from Primex Garden Center also in Glenside, Pa. Also purchased, seeds, some ornaments for my wreath, magnolia leaves for my outside container, food for the birds, and a beautiful house plant.

Two containers for Wayfair to plant 2 hydrangeas.I need to plant them before it snows. 

Sadly when I went in the yard today I found the half eaten body of a female cardinal. I'm assuming that a hawk that I sometimes see in my yard got her. This is the first time this has happened in my yard. Makes me want to stop feeding the birds. I didn't feed them last year because of the bird flu, now look what happened. I was so sad and knew that I had to wrap what remained of her body and bury her. A prayer for her for her life and beauty. I put some bricks on top to keep critters from disturb the grave.

The first thing I noticed was lots of feathers, too many.

Orchids from the produce market.

My amaryllis has started to open up. I planted her maybe a month ago and the one below.

I brought 2 other amaryllis from the produce market very cheap. They are now in bloom. I'll show you them in another post.
