Awol
Well, it's been a while since I posted and I know this is very bad for blogs. I do have an excuse although it may be considered lame by all you expert bloggers out there. Here's my excuse: it's been too darn hot! It's been consistently in the low 100's temperature wise here in Elgin, Tx. for quite some time now. After baking in the heat all day I don't feel much like doing anything when I get home from work. So please forgive me, I'll try to do better. I haven't been doing much gardening except I did get some fall tomato plants started. The challenge is keeping them from experiencing spontaneous combustion. On Friday I'm heading to the Texas Nursery and Landscape Assoc. annual trade show. The show rotates from Dallas to San Antonio to Houston. This year it's in Houston, my least favorite venue. (Sorry Houstonians). I'm hoping to find a few new suppliers and maybe discover some cool new plants and products for my nursery. I'm taking the family and the kids are very excited as they usually get lots of free candy, gadgets and basically worthless stuff from the vendors. My employees have asked for koozies, pens and free samples. I usually come home with several large bags full of catalogues that end up never getting looked at again. This year I am determined to be a little more discriminating and not grab a catalogue from every single vendor there. (How many tree growers do I need?) I just finished cleaning my office and threw away 4 trash cans of stuff from last years trade show. I'm sorry, I'm kind of a pack rat. I think I get this from my mom. Well that's it for now. My next post will probably be from the hotel in Houston. At least the convention center will be air conditioned!
