Allison, Julie and I took a drive to Indiana today. Our first stop was the Albanese candy outlet. I bought a 5-pound bag of gummi "cubs" (smaller than gummi bears) and chocolate-covered pecan pieces.
Then we went to the main attraction -
Fair Oaks Farm. Allison rented a golf cart so it was easier for us to get to the flowers.
Lots of sunflowers, and some cosmos and some zinnias. We split a $25 bucket we could fill with as many stems as possible.
A passer-by took our picture.
These lighter sunflowers were really pretty. We picked some dark ones too but the petals fell off in transport.
This golf cart gave Allison lots of problems. Really hard to start and we only had an hour rental. Late fee for returning it would have been $50. Good thing we got it back within the hour.
Allison and Julie also picked some vegetables and apples. We saw green bean plants but no beans. Never found zucchini or sweet corn. They did get some peppers and tomatoes. This is my artistic picture of Julie picking apples.
We sorted and divided all the flowers up in Allison's driveway. They were a bit wilted but we're hoping they recover once we get them in water.
My bouquet.
