My Visit to Logan’s

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

So I did get to visit Logan’s today.  And they told me to take all the pictures I wanted.  :)

I did take some pictures!  And I had great fun shopping for some herbs and flowers for the garden.  When you first enter Logan’s, it doesn’t look that big, but it used to be a train station!

So it’s big!  This alleyway-of-sorts runs around the main cafe, greenhouse, and store.  These blue signs hang above — marking various destinations, very reminiscent of a train station.

I basically stood and drooled over the pottery.  Finally, I tore myself away and told myself, Lynn, you must only get plants today — you cannot afford to spend any money on pottery today.  I repeated that as I walked through Logan’s.

Everywhere I looked there were more plants and fountains and garden do-dads.  I rounded the corner above and found my true love.  Herbs!!

Oh my, I came home with lavendar, sweet marjoram, savory and pineapple sage.  They are already potted up and planted in the ground and I’ll show you pictures tomorrow.

They had plenty of knock-out roses, my favorite right now, but they were a little out of my price range.  I’ll have to look for a sale on these over the next month or so.

Walking around Logan’s, one can easily see the train tracks on the other side of the fence.  Logan’s had plenty of statuary and garden art to choose from.

At the back of Logan’s, looking across the shrubs, I decided to go inside and get out of the hot sun.

Inside I opted for just a pack of seeds, paid for all my stuff and then went to the cafe and ordered a cheddar and veggie sandwich on sunflower seed bread with a Snapple orange-ade and chips and a chocolate chip cookie.  Yum!

I had a really, really good day.  My day started at the hospital where I signed my paperwork to be a hospital employee, then I went to Logan’s, then I went by a thift store where I found most of the stuff pictured above (the fabric is actually a dress for princess of the universe), and then I went by The Homeschool Gathering Place and then I went home.  At the HSGP I got the three Saxon math books in the box marked “free.”  What a day!
