Rain, How I Have Missed You!

It is raining...after much hoping, praying, and a little rain jig or two...it is finally falling out of the sky!  I am hoping that we will get some use out of the whole Storm Warn 30 segment on the local news.  That is still a source of comedic entertainment for me.

So, last weekend, I was at my local Walmart (not anything out of the ordinary for me).  For months, all I have seen when I walk in the Garden entrance, was something that looked like Christmas had thrown up.  Gaudy fake trees, a few realistic trees, blow-up Santas, light-up reindeer, clear and multi-colored lights and mostly grouchy people.  When I walked in this last weekend, I saw actual garden items.  What of course sucked me in, was the giant 16 foot seed display.  Top to bottom seed packets.  Everything from herbs to flowers to vegetables.  Giddy...that's how I felt.  My first instinct was to check out every variety they had...maybe take a few photos for future reference.  I tried to remember why I had even come in to the store and remembered that I was in search of yarn for my headband making "non-business".  I tried to walk in to the store, but the pull of the seed display was too much.  I ended up picking out several seed packets, some peat pots, and some replacement peat disks. The spoils of my efforts can be seen below!  Cannot wait to get these little guys started!
