In case you were wondering where I had gotten to, I had took a little vacation. Before we get into that, Gary said the other day that he needed a bolt, so we went to Hometown Hardware, formerly Murphy’s, outside of Hummelstown.

From the Garden
The Perfect Holiday PlantIn the coming weeks, dazzling holiday plants will be everywhere in Sun Country and beyond. The poinsettia is a tempting purchase in its array of colors; the amaryllis grows from a bulb to a multi-flowered plant.
