We took a road trip to our home town which involved driving 8 hours this weekend, some meals out, some free provided meals. We had a great time connecting with family and old friends. The time always goes too fast!
I haven't added up the money spent, but I do know these perennials I dug out of my parents garden beds were free!! They are getting their house ready to move so thinning out helps them, while the plants will help our yard look like it wasn't just built!
I brought home chives, poppies, lamb's ear, daylillies, shasta daisies, coral bells, and a couple of bearded iris bulbs! Now to actually get them planted. I didn't plan on bringing them home, so my yard is not quite prepped for them. Luckily I have some ideas. 
I also got this broken, but very pretty pot! Now I get to decide how to use it.
Did you get anything free this weekend? Did you get to spend time with family or friends?

Broken planter pot: I think any of the water proof glues used by plumbers or in the plumber's section of HD will work well to hold the large, broken section. Spread glue on both pot and edge of inside broken piece, holding in place with masking tape or painter's tape for 24 hours. Immediately remove any excess glue that squeezes through. I'd likely add a minuscule amount of glue to the outside. If you put your strawberry plant pot or something over hanging the crack will all but disappear to the eye...I think

@snafu, I was able to get the broken piece in place this morning, since it was cooler. I will be looking for a glue today.

We did get something free this weekend. We went to an open house at a local antique mall and we both signed up for door prizes. My name was the first one chosen and I won two black caned bottom chairs.

I Am getting something free this week....a free gas tank fill-up, courtesy of the dealer, after I pointed out how quickly the gas gauge fell....it appears they must not have filled up the tank as they're supposed to do.
