Destination Dallas...

...not Kansas.  Quite the goof up on my part.  Thank goodness daughters have your back and double check on things!  The Kansas City Trader Joes is "opening soon".  NOT open now.  Quick change of plans and we headed to Dallas last Wednesday.  It was a girl trip, "no boys allowed", as Ivy said.  Our basic destination was the farmer's market.  Not exactly busy there in March!  But we did get some great produce, although not local, unless one consider's Mexico local...and in Dallas that is pretty darn close! 

The car is ready to roll.  The ice chest is for any perishable purchases.  (We put it to good use when we stopped at Costco on the way home.)

Undoubtedly the most fun was the beautiful nursery across the street from the farmer's market.  It took up an entire block.  The colors and scents of flowers were just heaven afer the grey skies of winter. 

I did not buy this flamingo but sure was tempted...isn't it cute?!...but I did buy one of the wonderful jasmine plants.  It now sits by my back door to the kitchen and it smells so good.  Gives me a power lift every time I walk by!  (Remember aromatherapy? - there just might be something to that!)

Goodbye Dallas, Love Ya! (except for the traffic)
