Bring on the blustery days

Fall is my favorite time of year.....Ok not all of it, mostly just the parts where it is brisk and windy with lots of leaves blowing around, and it's kind of dark outside , but not too dark. when it's slightly damp but not raining, a little chilly but not too cold. Sweater weather but not jacket or parka weather. Is that being too picky?
Things are looking very autumnal here around the nursery and the store with lots of red, orange, and yellow leaves on the trees and beautiful fall inspired decor inside the store. We would love to see you all, so drop in and say hello.
We have a few exciting things coming up in the next week or so, with the last outdoor "Vintage Gathering " flea market sale of the year, coming up this Saturday (sept. 25th) For details go to www.avintagegathering.blogspot.com If you have not been to one of these sales yet, you really need to experience it. The collection of talented vendors is quite impressive and everyone is super friendly and there are amazing treasures to be found for very reasonable prices. The last sale in July was our busiest and most successful to date, and we hope to continue that trend even if the weather isn't quite as nice as last time :)
In addition to the flea market sale in Battle Ground, the Nursery (NW nursery outlet) is having a huge fall sale between sept. 24th and oct. 3rd with 20%-40% off of various shade and fruit trees along with japanese maples and dogwoods. Their prices are already fantastic so there will be some serious deals to be had. We are having a sale inside the store as well with everything in the store 10% off and selected seasonal and decor items up to 40% off.
One of my favorite songs is "we're going to be friends" by the white stripes (also done by jack johnson) It starts out like this.......
"Fall is here..., hear the yell
back to school....,ring the bell
brand new shoes..., walkin' blues
climb the fence..., books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends"
It always makes me think of this time of year. Hope to see you soon, friends..... matt and veronica
