Pat and I headed south to Columbus this past weekend for the Columbus Arts Festival. It had music, food, art, and more food. We had that perfect getting ready for global warming kind of weather. The temps were in the 90’s. Add concrete, asphalt and high humidity and everything was perfect. We stopped for breakfast on our way down at The Linden Café for the best chicken and waffles in the known universe. This breakfast is worth the trip to Columbus all by itself.
The real surprise of the day was our side trip to Scioto Gardens, just west of Delaware. The place is so unassuming when you drive in. The wow factor is in their plants. We found wonderful looking marsh milkweed and marsh marigold plants. For once we got just what we came for, mainly because we brought the Hyundai. We’re going back the weekend of July 16 for their garden and art fair, because as their sign says: “Never Stop Planting.”
Maybe these guys would scare the deer out my back yard.
I am always in search of a garden oasis in urbanated areas for a bit of peace and solitude.

Guess I'll hang onto my snail! ;-) Always ready for an art fair, though!
You guys don't half get around.Temps in the 90s, not sure if folks from Aberdeen could cope with that Jim.
