Country Store

Today for Outdoor Wednesday I'm showing a small lil' country flower and  garden store....... it is located in Kleinberg a small town outside of Toronto in Ontario. It's really in a big bustling city surrounding it  but this place has kept it's charm. It was a gorgeous spring weekend so we went for a stroll through the town. 




 In them old days they use to tie horses to this throughout the town. 



 Succulents.....I love these lil' plants.







 The front of the store.....






 The store's 'pussy cat'.










 I bought some herbs while I was there......I love to grow my own herbs. That is if "Alvin" the Chipmunk doesn't nibble on them. :-(




 Crab- Apple tree with it's spring blossoms......I have a few large old trees in my yard...This year I just might make some crab apple jam.



Thanks for stopping by and be sure to visit............for some great 'outdoors'.

      Hi.....we have any kind of herb you want at the garden nurseries to plant now. I was looking and they have a big variety of 'thyme' all kinds of flavours, but I just stick to the regular kinds.

    Stopping by form Outdoor Wednesday. I love stopping at country shops like this for inspiration. Thanks for sharing this one. What do you do to keep chipmunks out of the garden? I have never had a problem, but have a friend who can't get them out of her raised beds.

      Hi Becky.....I have several Chipmunks in my garden. They drive me nuts, but I guess I can't do nothig about them. They actually run over my feet if I'm sitting in the backyard.
