Out to a Nursery

Following my appointment with the orthopaedic surgeon which got rid of my leg splint (finally !) we headed across town, picking up fish and chips for lunch.  After we parked by Jones Falls Conservation Area to eat (the trail was still blocked off), we headed to the Westside Nursery.

I caught these very faint sunbeams shining down through the clouds on our drive over.  You can barely see them.

We were searching for a shrub for the front garden, where Mrs. F.G. had removed an enormous grass plant that grew in one year to dominate the entire little corner, so we only visited the outdoor area.

Couldn't resist these two gorgeous Rhododendrons.  We bought a nice dwarf Blue Spruce after checking out all the possibilities.

I think people must spend time dreaming up new products just to increase sales.  Have you got one of these new one-sided shovels yet?  Just the thing every gardener needs to make their tool collection complete!

 We took the back roads and came home through the country.  This densely bunched flock of sheep came charging across their pasture, heads buried in the long grass.

And we spotted this new barn quilt.  Just a small window through the trees to capture it.  Nice colours!  Beautiful day here.  I've already been out on the deck with my morning coffee, and I'll likely go for a ride this afternoon.
