Look @ These Beautiful Lily Blooms, Thank You Trader Joe's In Franklin & The Lady In The Parking Lot That I Asked If They Had A Good Selection Of Fresh Flowers.

I went into Franklin last weekend. I was near Trader Joe's, but I didn't feel like going in the store if they didn't have a good selection of fresh flowers to choose from. I saw a lady in the parking lot with her child and I noticed she had a fresh lily bunch in her hands. I said excuse me and asked if they had a good selection of flowers that day. She said she bought the lily bunch for 5.99. She did not know if they had eucalyptus though. I then parked my car and went into the store. I purchased a bunch of the lilies. They had a variety of colors to choose from and I selected pink. Why pink? Because I am a girly girl and I like things feminine, and pink reminds me of that. I also purchased some fresh eucalyptus too. When home I noticed 2 of the lily's broke off. So, I cut them off and placed a few sprigs of eucalyptus with 1 of the blooms in 1 container and the other lily bloom I placed lower in the vase.

My patio garden is growing nicely. I see baby eggplants starting to grow and lots of cherry tomatoes coming forth. The cucumber needs a little more help though but I am not a quitter so I will see cucumbers grow I will. I see 2 more carnations blooms in the works. I discovered a new flavor of mayo; Duke's makes a mayo now with actual lime in it. I am a mom still and I always liked trying new things. I thought if it is fine, I will get it again, if not I at least tried it right. So, I was telling 1 of my neighbors about this. I gave her fresh dill the other day and she said it would be good in tuna fish. I then set aside some of the new flavored mayo with lime in it for her to try with dill in tuna fish. I dropped off more fresh dill last night along with the mayo. She shared with me that she even gave some of the fresh dill to her dog. I learn something new all the time. I didn't know dogs liked fresh dill; did you know that?

So happy to see we now have a pool monitor in the evenings now. People are bold and brash and would just walk over to our community pool from a surrounding neighborhood and feel it was fine to use our pool. They knew enough to wait until the office closed or on Sundays too. No more of that since the pool monitor has a list of residents and they must show their pool pass to get in the pool. Thank you leasing management.
