Lead Plant

 The Lead Plant is blooming.  It is a plant that is native to Minnesota.   


Grocery day was uneventful...missing a few things.  The  person that delivered to the car at wallyworld said that the store should order more when they know that the tourists will wipe out the shelves.  Town was very busy.   Gas is up to $3.09 a gallon. 

I took my Dad to Bingo, we didn't win.  We missed last week as Dad was real sick...he had cellulitis....he is much better now.  ( Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin)  He told me he was so sick he nearly died.  He did well at Bingo...he only missed a few numbers....I either point them out or daub them for him.

  2. Happy to hear your Dad is feeling better. My friend's son is suffering from that right now and has had it for almost a month. Sun is shining this morning with temps around 60 degrees. Loving it. Have a great weekend.

  3. I love the lead plant and I've only found it a few times around here. I'm glad your dad's cellulitis is doing better. I know my MIL had that along with other issues.
    Glad you were able to pick most things up.
    Our Walmart was half barren just before the 4th but they had things restocked this week right after the holiday.

  4. Thanks for sharing about the lead plant. Had forgotten what it is so-called. Our gas here in Manitoba is $553.55/ US gallon. Jean

  5. I hope your dad is getting better for the long haul. I never heard of that disease before. And gas is even more than that here. :-(

  6. Both of my brothers have had cellulitis several times and have been hospitalized for it. I'm sorry about your Dad having it but glad he is so much better and could go have fun at BINGO.
    Our stores have quite a few empty shelves too. It's really a strange sight here in the US but one I'm wondering if we will have to get used to having.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  9. I was told that miners used to think the Lead Plant indicated ore beneath the ground below it. I love their frosty leaves and purple flowers. Such a delicate contrast.

  10. I'm sure your bingo outings with dad are some of the highlights of his week. Even though I'm a Minnesota native, I wasn't aware of that plant. It's very pretty and looks kind of delicate.

  12. There's an online gal on YouTube who also has cellulitis and man, she's sicker than a dog. Hopefully your dad is on antibiotics and will get better soon. Bless his heart for still going to bingo regardless. Yes, gasoline is awful these days. ~Andrea xoxoxo

  13. Glad your dad is feeling better and back to playing Bingo. What a cool plant!! Never heard of it. I can't decide if I like the interesting steel blue foliage or the blooms better. I like both! Reminds me somewhat of the Russian Sage I used to grow in my garden.

  22. Your Dad must really have felt awful to believe that he almost died. I'm glad he's feeling better. A big win at Bingo would really have cheered him up.
