Well, lots of new garden spaces to fill. I decided a good physical therapy trip to do some walking would be to go to Kolze's Corner Gardens for "a couple baskets. 2 Fancy clematis, sweet alyssum, & a few coleous". I should own stock in this place by now! I had to get a bucket to sit on & just pointed at things. I thought it would be cheaper that way. NOPE!!! We did ONLY get 2 hanging baskets. Do I get a gold star for that? Then 50 4" pots to spread about & make smaller baskets, 7 clematis, a yellow, iris (7 stalks wo split up), & a triple blooming Lilac in pink. Our first! I forgot to get the 6 packs of sweet alyssums! I'll send George back alone. Safer that way?
Come visit & see what the right plants can do for your garden, big or small.

Here is one of the videos made of our final project. It's been a long year of health issues for me. I'm looking forward to Spring & planting plans around the new ponds.

I just found this from last year. So sweet to be a part of Woodstock & the magic this town & theater creates year round.

Woodstock's very own Mrs. Lancaster, locally known as Lori Miarecki☕

George and Lori, the warm and welcoming owners of the Cherry Tree Inn, greeted Holly O'Hair with open arms, eager to show her around their renowned bed and breakfast. As they guided her through the charming spaces, Lori’s enthusiasm was infectious. She pointed out areas where iconic scenes from Groundhog Day were filmed, gleefully quoting memorable lines from the movie as she went along.

The grand finale of the tour came when Lori handed Holly the original coffee pot used during the film, stating that our prop "simply won't do."

It’s moments like these—shared between Holly O’Hair, Mrs. Lancaster in Groundhog Day: The Musical, and Woodstock’s very own Mrs. Lancaster—that truly breathe life into the spirit of our beloved town.

Groundhog Day the Musical running 1/31 - 2/16 2025
