Cherry Hill Lane

Serendipity, it's how I found this nursery.

Found it during my last trip and decided I have to visit this place. It was worth the visit.

This is a small nursery, beautifully organized and everything is in bloom, eye candy.......

I got there at opening time, was greeted by Luis. Took a look and decided the million bells were worth the $5.99, yes I bought 2 of them, Luis told me that if they die, dig then up and taken back. Cross my fingers they don't die. Love the place very small nothing to appropriate

hum mm

They have lots of pots in the back, didn't check the prices. I'm sure they're worth it.
They have very nice looking succulents, some had beautiful blooms, I mean eye candy.

No coffee shop close by, maybe they'll open one up soon. But if you drive four blocks north you'll end up in downtown Arroyo Grande, nothing Grande about it but they do have some interesting shops, worth checking out.

By the way Luis is from Morelia, has been in the US since 1982 and he lives in Nipomo.

Very nice guy, very friendly and helpful with the plants.

very cute place, I think I'll visit again.....

Paso Robles Fair

It's been a long time since I've been to the fair. I've never thought much about the fair, maybe because LA County fair is always packed, it's always an ordeal to park and it's expensive (is $12 expensive?).

So, I made it to the Paso Robles Fair, went to see Chubby Checker, yes that's right, I said Chubby Checker, what can I say it was free.

He sang all his signature songs, got the crowd very involved, it was fun.

Went to walk the fair after, I like the fair, it was small and it was country.

Had to go see the cows, meet cowboy, he was handsome looking steer, weight about 1300 lbs.

Had a change to meet notorious P.I.G, yes that's the pigs name, good looking pig and clean. Not the pigs I remember. Saw the sheep and billy goats, yes I said this was country.

Had a great time, sorry I didn't check this out before I would have made it to Paso on the 24th, that's when Morris Day and the Time played, yeah baby bring it Morris.

Here are some pics of my new found friends (the animals) at the fair........

Couldn't resist taking a stroll on the beach, this house is right accross the street, Sophie, me and my plants would look good here.............

Pismo Garden Art....the update

So, I'm back in Paradise.

Drove by the Pismo Garden Art and what a surprise, they open a coffee shop right next door.

Utopia Coffee and Bakery, are they reading my mind or what, it must be the or what.

Didn't try the coffee, the place was closed, so what else is new in Pismo.

Took a nice drive to SLO picked up some Balsamic Vinegar, new brand hope it's as good as the old brand.

Found lots of new nurseries to visit, this means it'll be early days for me at my next visit.

found this little place facing the ocean, somebody hand over the keys, home sweet home.

dream or reality.................................
