Today, during my week of vacation, I went to Flower World in Maltby to dream of my Spring garden. Even for a rather cool and wet day, Flower World looked beckoning as I pulled into one of the many small parking areas. I walked through the long gravel walkways lined with red-caned shrubs, which always create such a band of color in the dull hues of early winter. The ducks and geese covered the grassy areas, and a dozen or so chickens ran to greet me. What an array of chickens there were--I counted at least 8 different varieties, with a male and female peacock thrown in for good measure!
The pond looked serene, and I could hear the water falling from the water wheel up on the incline toward the main road into the area. No one was around except me, and it was a very soothing few moments as I walked the gravel path back to my car. It was a perfect break for me today, and I came over to this place to find a small time of quiet before I started on the next errands that would fill up the rest of my day.
Only three months until Spring!
