post the fifty-eighth, 2013

today we went to purchase some yard art of the live variety. (trees and shrubs, doncha know.) here is what i saw at the tree and shrub shop. (nursery, doncha know.) did you know that if you purchase farm output from a farmer, there's no sales tax? at least, that's true around here. reason #846,292 i should be shopping at the farmers market.

big ass truck

big ass truck driven by a big ass who shopped the whole lot looking for a place to park the damn thing. C'MON. don't drive a vehicle you cannot park.

carry mate

carry mate is the bomb, mate. it's a soft-sided, foldable nylon basket with a metal frame. i have kind of wanted one for a while cause they are so cool, but today was not the day to bring one home.

cats gotta snooze

garden shop cat taking a break from fighting off pesky garden pests.

seuss trees

i am a big fan of whimsical topiary. we looked at a few pieces today, but they were a poor combination of tired, dry, and pricey, so none of them got to come and live with us.

thought these were gas masks

they had a large display of these solar powered fan-hat thingies. i hope they were being ironic, because this type of merch sort of detracts from the "we know what we're doing" vibe.

grass rugs

i find rolled up lawn to be amusing.
