yesterday afternoon I wandered from TJ Maxx to Target 2 doors down in the local strip mall. After finding my new Water Color Painting Kit I was on a quest for a pad of water color quality paper to use to learn my new hobby.

Sadly, Target did not have the paper I was looking for but as I was leaving I walked down the aisle that had springtime decorations and doodads. It has been a long cold winter here in the wilderness and I thought looking at Springtime would perk me up.

Well, I almost was finished with the aisle when I noticed 2 adobe washed planters sitting alone on a shelf…one was a Strawberry Grow Pot and the other was a Basil Grow Pot. I picked them up and read that they came with the soil and seeds for the plants. I set them back down and started to walk away.

I can blame 43 Things for making me write down the things I want to do because immediately this goal came to mind. I love growing things…so you guessed it! I brought them home with me! Soon I will have fresh Basil for cooking and my very own home grown strawberries for dessert. I am now looking for more herb plants to add to my kitchen garden.
