Local Greenhouse

A few photos from our trip to the local greenhouse to pick out our poinsettia.

Poinsettias

We went to our local greenhouse's annual poinsettia open house the day after Thanksgiving, I love going there, they have over 7 greenhouses full of all different poinsettias. They have lights strung all over, it is beautiful. Each year we end up buying the usual red one.

This past weekend we went to a local greenhouse that grows all their own poinsettias, there are about 6 greenhouses full of various kinds of poinsettias, they string lights throughout, it is a sight to see.

Every year for many years my husband and I go to a local greenhouse that grows thousands of poinsettias, I take lots of pictures, we walk around and admire all the varieties and each year we walk away with the usual bright red one which is always our favorite. This is just something small but it is has become one of the highlights of the holiday season for me. The first picture is of the plant we purchased the other is just one of the greenhouses, there are more.

Our first winter storm has arrived, it was snowing when we walked the dogs this AM, by the time we got back home it had turned to sleet, while walking in the woods all of sudden you could hear that it was sleet and not snow. The weather has changed my plans for the weekend. I am staying in for the day. I am going to get started on my holiday candy making. Caramels and fudge are are on the agenda today. A couple of weeks ago, my oldest friend, (we met when I was 5 and she was 6) came over and we spent the day making caramels, her daughter is home from CA now for an early Christmas and she loves the caramels, so my friend and I made several batches, it was a great day.
