Poor Vince! For some reason, every purchase he makes at Home Depot, the receipt is sent to MY email. I assure you I didn’t set that up. I know his thinking originally was that I would keep up with all the expenses that are tax deductible so all the receipts would come to my email but what he wasn’t thinking is that the minute he checks out, I know everything he has purchased at Home Depot.
Today he went there for some kind of clipper that will cut something . . I didn’t pay enough attention to what he was telling me. But, here’s the receipt that showed up in my email.
Receipt
They must have had these things on sale. These are bags that probably each have a dozen roots in them. Three packs of strawberries, two packs of Mary Washington asparagus and one pack of Jersey Giant asparagus.
Both asparagus and strawberries are in raised beds and all the beds are FULL! Vince doesn’t plant things in the garden, Vince doesn’t have a clue that all the beds are full but I will ask him to build new beds and then he will say “I never get caught up because you’re always asking me to do more!”
Life is a vicious cycle around here! 🙂

When I first read the “Strawberry Ozark Beauty” (at first glance) I thought perhaps he’s buying some expensive facial cream to protect his baby soft skin from the Texas sun??11 Then I thought perhaps, a tree. Just gotta love em, don’t ya 🙂

ROFLOL, you just show him the receipt and tell him apparently he is doing this for Vince since Vince bought the plants???? Laughing hard, been there done that !!hahaha So who’s fault is it that he never is “caught” up?????? Good luck Judy. I sure hope you can convince Vince that it really is all his fault 🙂

I don’t think my last comment went through. Blasted phone. I am a lurker but I’m coming out to say I enjoy your blog so much. Vince is so thoughtful to buy you plants like that. I just love reading about you two’s adventures on your lovely little farm. I love how you can everything and put away food and get into gardening and knitting. And to think I followed you a few months ago for quilting lol.

The next time a “Box of Fun” arrives, you have written proof that you are not the only shopper in the house! 🙂
“Vicious cycle”…if only that were the most vicious thing. You two are definitely entertaining.
