I did a solo trip to Menards for supplies, this gave me the opportunity to look around at things I generally don’t do when I’m with Kelli. That is because I have to divert her attention from items we did not come to purchase, I think that is why those trips are so exhausting.
I was able to meander down the isles in a leisurely pace finding things I didn’t know they had. “ Why do I need Amazon?” Went through my mind. “ Why is there no competition to Amazon?” Was another. All these big stores could form a co-operative to service customers, they have large warehouses in all large cities.
That is when I feared my head would explode, so I went back to just looking at things.
I had to buy some timber to make a floor frame for a new greenhouse. The one we had was only a temporary, being just a plastic cover over a tubular frame. The weather had caused the plastic door to split, so rather than purchase a new cover I bought a slightly more substantial one. It arrived a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been frightened to open it, but I want to do it soon.
The wooden frame will ensure the structure is square from the outset, and last a little longer.
So with the four by twos lashed to the roof I set off back home.
