We don’t spray our blooms with chemicals, but that means there might be an occasional bug hiding in the petals. Since it’s spider season….
This spring, my brother called and said my mom had been in a wreck. I blew out of work and got home in record time. When I got there, mom was home and ok, but her car was not. When we asked what happened, she simply replied, “There was a spider.” In an attempt to crush it by hurling her purse across the car, she drove over a hill, took out a fence, split two trees that tore her mirrors off, went airborne, smashed a second fence, and landed in a hillside. We are so thankful that she was completely unharmed, but we had to have a talk about her spider phobia (and it’s now family lore that we all laugh at).
SO WHAT I’M TRYING TO SAY IS…if you’re scared of spiders, I need you to put your bouquet in the back back seat on the way home for the rest of the season…just in case.
The flower stand is stocked today, and we’ll see you at the Bridgeport Farmers Market tomorrow!
