Citrus Shopping on Sundays

We found a lovely little citrus nusery and on the weekend took the kids to experience it. It was beautiful and anyone in the south should spend at least one afternoon just smelling orange blossoms.

The proprietors were three older men, all different characters supported by Honey, the sweetest dog ever. They have have coloring sheets, Woodpeckers and juicers.

We found finding the information on citrus was fun, easy, enjoyable and wandering was magical.
The only difficult task was paying ... there was always another story, another variety, another rare bird that flew by. Paying meant we had to leave,and neither the customers nor the owners were pushing that along.

I recommend stopping by to slowly walk through this little grove of The Flying Dragon Citrus Nursery
.

Vintage Educational Coloring Books

Love these vintage educational coloring books. There are also reprints out there too. These are just so much better than the cutsey character waste of paper that you commonly find.

The drawings are .... gasp .... realistic and show details about the animal you will recognize in pictures, or if lucky enough, in person.

Thrift Store Desk

This would have been my desk if I didn't already have a refinished table for the chickies to do school work on. Isn't it sweet? It was so tempting to buy, I had to take a picture of it to sooth the shopping beastie inside that was shouting at me just to buy it anyway .....
