Gift #628: Flower trip

Posted on May 20, 2014 by ordinarymiracletoday

So after writing my title, I felt the need to clarify – this post is about visiting nurseries for garden plants, not a 70s-inspired hallucinogenic experience.  For the latter, you’ll need to find another blog.  I’m all about gardens and … Continue reading →

Posted on December 5, 2013 by ordinarymiracletoday
