Oh, heavenly day

04/14/2015 by Holly

Well, the project start is pushed back a day…so hopefully tomorrow!

But it’s probably best anyway, since I’m still reeling from my trip to Petals from the Past.  {Easily overwhelmed by awesome.}  I went in for a peach tree…and I came out with slightly more than a peach tree.  But they could put just about anything under this wisteria and I would buy it.

DSC_0018psI should back up a minute…driving to the shop, the last little stretch before you turn…I think I saw a sign.  Well, I did, actually, see a sign.  A literal sign.  That I hope isn’t a metaphorical sign for my imminent future with this project:

DSC_0007I laughed pretty hard.  And then I u-turned into the gas station to take a picture.  Because, yes indeed, there is likely a very bumpy road ahead for me.

I promise to stop musing now and just show the pictures.

The staff was very helpful and put up with all of my dumb questions.

I did buy a peach tree.  {Among other things…ahem.}

I settled on the “harvester” variety, since I wanted freestone, red flesh.  And I spoke softly to it all the way home and played it some Taylor Swift.  Only time will tell if it’s more of a classic rock fan.

Oh, hi there

I'm Holly from zone 7b.
My veggies grow above ground where the rabbits help themselves, and the flowers grow in ground where the children help themselves. Sometimes I wish I was a pioneer. Then I move the clothes from the washer to the dryer and think better of it.
