Janet's Garden News

Went to an open house at the Green Valley Green House today to preview the holiday flowers. Had a great time. Upon entering I was faced with a sea of color, mostly red from thousands of pointsettas. All the greenhouses were open for inspection and I went into each one. Full of holiday flowers, arrangements, green foliage plants, mums etc, etc. They even had refreshments-fancy Christmas cookies which looked homemade, bars, peppermint sticks, coffee, cider, pop, egg nog. All the plants were 20% off in addition to the low prices from getting them directly from the grower so I bought several and they all liik so nice. Lily went with me but had to wait in the car. After finishing shopping I took her for a walk in the oak grove and field next to the nursery.

Right at this moment a total eclipse of the moon is evolving. About 20 min ago it was about 1/3 and now almost 1/2 covered. Beautiful clear, cold night and I can see the moon from the front window. So neat. Got to check it out a couple of more times, it will be over soon.
