I'm On Sensory Overload

                              ...after my trip to the cabin.

The girls all piled into our car to

head out to the local greenhouses

in the Susquehanna Valley,

driving through some beautiful farms,

passing some fellow travelers

on the road.

We stopped for a filling

buffet breakfast at Peachey's

one of our favorite Amish restaurants.

We made the rounds to our favorite

greenhouses,  Engle's, Riverside

and Garden Treasures.

There was so much to look at,

garden decor,

statues nestled among the plants,

fountains for every type garden

even some beautiful gazing balls.

As if this wasn't enough to put you

 over the top, upon entering the

greenhouses you are assaulted

by a riot of color,

an assortment of hanging baskets

aisles upon aisles of the most wonderful

blooms.

The heady aroma of damp

soil and fresh loam

just envelops you.

I don't know about you

but that smell is intoxicating

to me and I am like a kid in a

candy store, wanting one of everything!

They offered an array of pots

for sale

and for those of us with a need for

instant gratification

they had all sorts of pots preplanted.

All of this running around made us

ready for a treat before we headed

back to the cabin, so we made a pitstop

at one of our favorite places and

indulged in some refreshments.

Sounds like a perfect day doesn't it???
