Procrastination can be advantageous.
On Christmas Eve morning my Sweetie and I finally had the time and energy to get our tree. Fortunately, Bremec's on the Heights Garden Center carry my favorite tree, a Fraser Fir.
As we walked toward the outside area where colorful annuals and perennials are on display during the growing season, I noticed a sign that said that all trees were 1/2 off. No sooner had we started looking at the dozen or so trees that were left, when the owner came out and called out, "Any tree for $20.00." Original price? $69.99 for an 8-footer.
After we had selected our tree, I noticed the wreathes. My Sweetie went in to ask about the prices. He returned with a smile, "No matter what size they are $5.00."
I selected a large one composed of three kinds of evergreens, pine cones, and berries. Original price? $38.99.
Sometimes procrastinators win.
