Shopping Spree at Lowes Today...

Today is the last day of Lowes' 20% off all flowering shrubs and 10% off resin storage sheds, and since I've been all over the map these days I barely caught the last train. After series of client meetings I rushed home at around 4pm, slipped in my jeans, hoodie and sneakers and off I went to Lowe's.

So here are what I picked up today:

4 x Gold Mound Spireas for the front yard that look like this: (love the chartreuse foliage)

 Which I hope in a few months they will grow to be like this:

And I got this 7 1/2" x 5" Suncast Resin Shed for a steal of $760 after 10% off! Well it comes in a long big box with millions of pieces inside, so it'd be interesting to see how quickly we could assemble it.

It's only 6pm and I am seriously contemplating of going back to Lowe's and picking up more flowering shrubs. However, all the plants I bought over the past few weeks have been sitting in our backyard, to such a degree that I started to feel a bit embarrassed.

Oh wait, did I tell you that our hardscaping started yesterday only to come to a complete halt again today due to rain? It doesn't look like anything could be done until after Sunday. What a timing huh?
