Doc’s Big Adventure
Well, ok, it wasn’t a big adventure, but my trip to the Home & Garden show was fun. Grace and Sharon both decided not to go, so I was on my own. Fortunately, I didn’t have any money, so I was able to put temptation behind me. Saw some pretty interesting stuff, despite about half of the booths having little or nothing to do with home remodeling or gardening. The neatest thing was a pondless waterfall, which the company who designs them touted as being “revolutionary”. Perhaps, but it took me about 2 minutes to figure out how the built it, so now I could make one myself at a fraction of their price.
The highlight of the show was getting to go to the hour long Q&A session that Paul James, the Gardener Guy from HGTV’s “Gardening By The Yard”. He’s just as personable, informative and entertaining live as he is on the show. Afterwards, he autographed pictures and chatted with those of us who got them. All in all, a really nice guy and a really good speaker.
Once I got home, I puttered in the garden for a bit, but not for too long as it was 101 degrees and I needed to get inside and do some writing…which I did not get done. Instead, I’m tanking up on tea as I write this and I’ll no doubt be writing like crazy at 3:00 in the morning:)
And now, less blogging, more tea.
