I spend a whole lot of time at home these days. Sometimes I feel so antsy I don’t know what to do. A couple of days ago, I remembered what a good friend told me works for her: go outside.

So, I took another friend’s recommendation and drove out to Shields Herb & Flower Farm. There were so many beautiful vignettes in this place.

And, they are the kind of people who actually know plants. They helped me choose something for exactly the spot I needed, and I got to pick from multiple options.

I heard one very loud frog in the Lilly pond, but he didn’t stay still long enough for me to make a photo.

The experience was a mood changer. Beautiful plants make me happy, and so does seeing someone do something they’re good at really well.

I have to recommend that you take a look. And I hope you too come away feeling just a little bit better, as I did.
