Pots, Blooms & BBQ



Oh the joy of Spring. Today we visited a large nursery nearby. It was brimming with families who were combing the garden for all manner of pots, gardening tools and plants. It's great to see people pulling red-wagons around as they fill them with their finds. Kids get a great introduction to interacting with nature and parents get much needed stress relief by considering the blossoms so delicate and colorful. The place smelled heavenly to boot. We chuckled to see that a BBQ wagon was on their premises and people queued up to order brisket sandwiches and hot dogs.

Make sure you get some time to participate in a rite or two of Spring, a time of year of youthful renewal and play.

And if you get to Virginia, visit Merrifield Garden Center for all your gardening needs.
