Triad Farmer's Market and More

We started the day out early at the Triad Farmer's Market in Greensboro. We picked up strawberries, tomatoes, more hostas and a gorgeous Japanese Maple tree - Some of the many flowers offered at the market:

Note the green Japanese Maple there because in a minute you'll see It again!

Smells like Summer!

Climax Tomatoes

Yum!

I was picking out Strawberry plants when this cutie popped

up out from under the display

And for the rest of our time at the Nursery she followed us around

One of the workers told me they lost ten fountains when the 

Tornado came through here on Thursday night

Across the street you can see more of the damage

Yikes!

We saw Lots of downed trees all around the Farmer's Market

An outhouse we found in High Point

Note the sign: Slow - Men Working

Hard to believe, given this inventory, but I could not find 

the right St. Francis statue for my Garden here... And I looked!

On the way home we stopped at the Briar Patch 

garden shop in Winston-Salem for basil plants

Back at the ranch... More blooms on the pond Iris 

today and the hostas have doubled in size this week

The pond Iris we divided last year and planted 

near creek bloomed today too

My fish were happy to See me this afternoon!

Poof! More Wisteria and azalea Blossoms on the arbor

There she is! That Japanese maple from the 

Triad Farmer's Market has a new home - I know it 

doesn't look like it in this picture but she's perfectly 

centered on the living room window - Lovely!

Don't feed the bears!

I was in the Garage when the ducks showed up! Not 

at the pond - Oh, no! They came up to the garage to find me

and ask for some food! I grabbed two scoops of cracked corn 

and they followed me all the way back to the pond. Amazing!

They must have been hungry because they 

usually don't come this close
