Snow on the ground for several days here in greater Baltimore-Washington area. So I went around the house grooming my poinsettias and Christmas cactuses, pinching off the dead leaves around the bottom and rotating them towards the meager winter window light.

We have a brand-new store here that is amazing—Tractor Supply. It's a welcome contrast to the usual strip mall fare in these rapidly "urbanizing" suburbs, like living near farms and stables and having an old-time general store with all the countryside requirements—farm, garden and animal equipment, hardware, bird and animal food, outdoor clothing, etc. Prices are moderate to low.

Love to go in there even when I don't need a 15-lb bag of kibble. For instance, our nearby Tractor Supply location carries a fabulous and varied array of leather cowboy boots for men and women. Recently hit a sale there and got a new plaid flannel shirt for the day hours of Christmas Eve before getting dressed for church in the evening.

Yes, even here in RINO Gov. Hogan's Maryland, we are having socially distanced church (although he told us not to sing—can you imagine not singing carols on Christmas Eve? expletive, expletive).

Merry Christmas, all you gardeners on FR!

Merry Christmas!

The Tractor Supply stores have started coming to my area, though the closest one is an hour away.

I could spend most of the day at our Farm & Fleet, which is a close second. ;)
