LONG WAY HOME

After round two of the root canal this morning, we decided to piddle around and take the scenic route home.

First stop, Arnold's Greenhouse in the middle of nowhere Coffey County. I got some coleus, petunias, heuchera, and an impatiens plant and Jeff bought some bell pepper and cherry tomato plants.

Next stop, Gridley, which is also in the middle of nowhere. We like this little burg because it has a nice horseshoes pit, complete with covered scoring table. Classy. Since we adhere to the motto: "Have horseshoes will travel," we played an abbreviated round to 11, with The Flaming Bore winning, 11-3.

After that, we just rambled homeward on dirt roads. Did a lot of gawking, but that was about it. Round trip took about six hours.

Now I'm ready to get out of the sweats, do some planting, and then get ready for the big basketball game tonight. March Madness has turned into April Madness, and I'm gonna get craaaaaazy!
