HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE - MORE FROM THE GARDEN CENTER

I started outside first. I was looking around for plants to purchase, not just plant pots. I headed this way after looking at all the ones I shared in my other post




I found a bee that caught my attention.


A closer look. My attention span and I are easily distracted, especially when it is hot and muggy and there are bees around.




All the plants on display were delightful, but I thought this was a particularly beautiful plant below. It is a Panicle Hydrangea.

The bench called my name. I sat there for a few moments...

and it wasn't long before I went inside. Gregg had already gone off to purchase the two red geraniums I had picked out.









The 4th of July items were still on sale through to the end of July.




I didn't see anything to buy, but it is always fun to browse.




I thought a bit about this puzzle. I still have a couple of unopened ones at home. It stayed on the shelf.






I skimmed through lots of items, not really with the intention of buying anything. By this time I was ready to leave, and Gregg had texted me to say the geraniums were in the car. On the other side of the aisle is my favorite gift shop area. I didn't go on this visit but I'll start there next time. I enjoyed what I did, though had reached my limit and was glad to get into the car. 

Thanks for spending time with me, and I hope you are having a great day whatever you are doing.

BACK TO THE GARDEN CENTER - GARDEN NICKNACKS

  I meant to get back to these sooner as our visit to the garden center was on April 20th. 

The foxes told me they wanted me to take them home but I stood my ground. I told them there were enough foxes in our neighborhood but I was sure they would be going home with someone that day.
Ahhh, dragons!

The Zen Frog was giving some advice today: "Make a splash, look before you leap, don't jump to conclusions, enjoy a good swim, stretch your legs often, spend time at your pad, and hop to it!" I may have read this on Pinterest and yes, you may have read this before.

I was very taken with the bronze fairy. She is a birdfeeder/birdbath holder. It seemed like she was five feet tall but couldn't be sure as she was displayed on top of a table, and she towered over me. I wasn't surprised at the price on the sticker, so I wistfully put it down and said goodbye to my sweet fairy.
I asked my little buddies here if they decided to give her away to let me know, but they weren't hearing, speaking or seeing me. They knew nothing and I will always respect them for that. Good little bunnies!
So here we are away with the fairies.
I think I mentioned before I am hoping to put together a small fairy garden inside a planter. I enjoyed looking at the ones here.
The fairy house is the last photo from this side of the nicknack shop. Below is the one on the other side of the corridor. I had fun browsing through there also, but I will save that for another time.

Remember, if you are away with the fairies, in my mind that is a good thing. I have said it many times before, we all need to get in touch with our inner child/fairy once in a while. Let it fly!

Thanks for looking and sending you only the very best wishes for a great day!
