and what a lovely time was had. I wanted to purchase seed packets to pop into the Christmas cards for gardening friends. The usual spot I always found them had other things on display. A lady came over to see if she could help and when I told her what I was looking for, she showed Gregg a place on the other side of the center. He disappeared for a couple of minutes, and I pottered around while waiting for him to come back. That’s him on the left just before he follows the nice lady. I really can’t say enough about the staff here. In all the years we have been coming, all have been super friendly and helpful.

I asked Bear if he would like to come home with me, but as often happens, he said no. He was far too busy greeting people and offering them refreshments. The deer below gave me the same answer. Ah well, there were other things to occupy my line of sight.
The raccoon was as interested as I was as he poked his head through a hole in the wall.
Hmmm.....he said. I know....I said.
Trinkets...I said.
How I love trinkets, like a moth to the flame...but I have more control than the moth as I left the flame and went on to look at other things.
Still rabbiting on here…hmmm....shiny objects. What am I, a jackdaw? Not really but how I love browsing around shiny, glittery things.
I went through one of the double doors into the greenhouse and had a browse around there too.
You can see what drew my attention this time. I also like rusty animals…
and while getting in touch with my inner child even further, decided to look at fairy things.
Not buying anything but seed packets, just browsing today!
I wonder if Santa is visiting later?
So, with seed packets in hand thanks to my dear other half, it was time to leave. We had passed turtle on our way in.
We made our way to our drive-thru and ordered a coffee. They were offering their snowman cookies and one actually did make its way home with me. I ate it while drinking my coffee and writing Christmas Cards. I'm late sending them as always. Maybe next year I will be earlier! But then again, snowmen may fly!
Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great day!
