Guests, and “Lifers”
I still haven’t got the hang of adding pictures to an existing log entry, so it’s a separate entry…

Plant Sale
Today was the first day of my Perennial Plant Sale (and Yard Sale). There were many customers for plants, and almost no one looked at the “garage sale tables”, but that’s far better than the other way ’round.
The whole business feeds my soul, in a way. Maybe it’s my EGO. People come here and say they’re so glad I’m doing the perennials for sale, and that I make good choices. I DO have a “want list” because many people ask for this or that, and I try to get a feel for the trends. It makes me want to have a PROPER garden centre, though that would be even MORE work! I hardly think about the money, although my desire is to make a modest profit, naturally. It’s very satisfying just to fill a need in the market place.
Gary is away until next Wednesday. I think the time will pass quickly; I feel lost without him. I even lock the doors when he’s away, though i know that wouldn’t be much of a deterent if someone meant some harm…
Dogs came and went today. Am boarding two bunnies, six dogs, and Susan’s two rats. This is a source of fascination for the many visiting children, plus the NEW cat with her week-old kittens. I’ve added more pictures of pets to the pet gallery page, . I hope I’ve typed the HTML code in correctly for that page.
I’m REALLY fading now: it’s only 7 pm. but I feel that I’ve been busy all day. Some of the day was just “schmoozing” with the public; maybe people who came to buy plants wil board a pet here some day.
Take care, dear reader. ~Ann
