I was at Walmart today getting an all-metal impact sprinkler and a bulb planter that has an adjustable diameter--nifty. Of course, I couldn't resist looking at the new bags of grass seed. Most of the bags were printed with an appropriate 2012 or 2013 "Sell By" date or "Use By" date, but I saw some bags from Scotts that had a sticker placed over their original "Sell By" dates! When the sticker was peeled off, you could see that printed on the bag itself was a 2011 "Sell By" date, but the sticker covering the bag had a 2012 Sell By date! I don't know if these were last year's seeds or, hopefully, just this year's seeds in last year's bags? Kinda shocked me. The stickers were so plainly visible. Just needed to lift them up in order to see the bag's original hidden Sell By date. My faith in corporate ethics has been forever shattered--LOL. In fairness, I should say that most of the Scotts bags had appropriate 2012 and 2013 Sell-By dates. Only a few bags had the conspicuous stickers covering a date from last year. And again, maybe, those were this year's seeds in last year's bags. Sure hope so.

My farmshare is only a stones throw from there. I will have to check it out next week. Thanks for letting us know! It looks like a beautiful place and their web site is lovely, although not complete yet. WG

Yes, they included the plumbing fixtures as well. It's all set to be installed. I just need to get the pieces necesarry for adding a shower with it. This is my only bathroom at the cottage and while a tub is great, a shower is a necessity! I did see that the feet were another $1700!! That's insane. What I think happened is that the owners donated it to the church so they could take the tax donation then it was the church selling it either through their rummage sale or via craigslist. I happened to find it on craigs list and had no idea what I was really looking at. I had no idea bathtubs could be so insanely expensive. I've never redecorated a house before so I was totally clueless. Susan

Its got somewhat of a curve to it in a couple places Leslie then comes to a slight V in the center...it has butterflies on the neckline and skirt. It IS hard to see...she will also carry this flower. DD thought it would be best because the churh says no petal dropping. The Bridesmaids will carry bouquets of fall colors. Maddie will carry a single flower, the color looks peachy here but its orangy.
