What a great weekend

What a great time I had at Hidden Secrets in Flora, Mississippi. The store is absolutely beautiful and is only surpassed in loveliness by the owner and residents of the city. I was surrounded by flower and life go-getters. The refreshments were delish and the conversation, stimulating. If you are ever in Flora, stop by Hidden Secrets and the local library; you will be glad that you did.

The middle left picture is Mrs. Betty Allen the librarian at Flora's Library. She is an avid gardener and shared her expertise. I could not have asked for a better hostess.

The picture to the bottom left is Mrs. Henrietta, librarian at Beverly J. Brown Library in Byram, Mississippi. She is a friendly burst of sunshine that you must meet. The library is a welcoming enviroment for all. The loyal patrons of the libray were a joy to spend the morning with. Mrs. Henrietta surprised me and presented me with a blooming vine that I have not seen before. You know that I am more than excited to see how well the plant does and how well I do with the plant. Be on the look out for a close up shot of my gift.

I can not express my gratitute to my two hostesses for the weekend. I enjoy meeting nice people and that will never grow old with me. I was happy to know that the community of Byram care about their youth and encourages them to read and excell. I look forward to visiting two new found gems of the south; Flora and Byram again. Stop by and tell the ladies hi one day.
