Miranda Lambert and Anderson East went out on a date earlier this week -- but it wasn't what you might expect from a semi-new couple.

Months into their romance, Lambert and East passed on dinner plans and opted for a more hands-on activity at Home Depot, which Lambert spoke of on Instagram a short while later.

"A patient man spends a whole day planting impatiens... Oh and spray painting flower boxes pink. #homedepotdate #blooms #plantaseedwatchitgrow," Lambert captioned the photo below.

Lambert and East began dating in late 2015 and earlier this month, the couple debuted their romance on the red carpet at the Academy of Country Music Awards.

According to an E! News source, Anderson "was a little nervous" about walking the red carpet in Las Vegas, but was also "so happy to be there by Miranda's side."

And despite reports of Lambert avoiding a run-in with her ex-husband, Blake Shelton, the source claimed she "did not avoid him... she just did not go out of her way to bump into him. If they did, she would [have said] hi."

"She is in a totally different space than [she was] months ago. She has no issues with Blake and is happy that he is in a good place in his life and also in love," the source explained. "Blake and Miranda were married, so they are not strangers. Miranda will always have a certain love for Blake, but the romantic and forever feelings are gone."

Meanwhile, Lambert and Anderson reportedly have a "crazy connection."

"Whenever they are together they act like two free spirits...Miranda adores Anderson," the source stated. "They understand each other. Anderson has given Miranda this confidence she hasn't felt in some time. They are very supportive with each other and their careers."

"Anderson and Miranda are serious," added another source. "They have met both sides of their families. Both their families love what they have. They seem like they are in such a great place. They spend so much time together. They are also very involved with Miranda's animals. That's a big part of her life and Anderson is a huge animal lover."
