Be very careful with this guys as they have painful stingers.  It is easy for pets or children to be curious about this "ugly" looking thing.

An Invitation

Club Visits Chappell Hill

We had such a nice day in Chappell Hill.

We came home with full tummies after our lunch at the Honeysuckle Coffee Bistro, which is featured on page 16 of your November issue of Better Homes and Gardens!!!!  

And, of course, trunks full of beautiful, healthy plants from the Bluebonnet House and Garden Center in Chappell Hill as well as information about plants that grow well in our neck of the woods.  

What a good day!
