Gene, if it only takes a batch of something homebaked to coerce you out of your nursery stock, it would probably be worth my plane ticket and a U-haul -- ya think?!

Hello Claire,
Sounds good to me. Spend two years in England quite a few years back
and, to this day, miss the sound of the 'Brits' on occasion. I am from the
old school and miss the opportunity to "dress up" a bit when going
someplace. Places a whole new feeling to the old body when it is "dressed".
I can not even locate a decent summer straw hat as no one wears decent hats
any more. Sigh... real hats with real sizes in long and short ovals.
Did have a gardening friend drop by with a tin of homemade scones couple
of weeks ago. They had dried cherries and sweet walnuts in the batter.
Warmed them in the microwave, added some butter and a cup of hot tea (golden
Assam). She could have left with the entire nursery display area I was so
thankful.
Received a card with a handwritten letter inside thanking me for coming
to a open house at a new garden this week. The card is from a male gardening
buddy, and the card is one that is "male" in appearance written with an ink
pen. (It is almost impossible to find cards and stationary for a male to
use). Small things, but they mean so much and add such a flavor to life.
All to say, I think I would enjoy White Flower Farm. Especially if they
sent me an invitation and served tea.
