Pining for Smith & Hawken

Every now and then I check the Smith & Hawken website to see if/when we’re getting a store in Sacramento. None coming anytime soon, apparently, but I did discover that we now have a Smith & Hawken “Authorized Dealer” in our area!

Davis Ace Hardware

240 G ST. (behind bldg. A)
Davis, CA 95616

Woo hoo!

I still think Sacramento is worthy of a full-fledged store. They think we’re not tony enough (locations are restricted to Beverly Hills, Walnut Creek, Palo Alto, etc.) and we may not be… but we sure love to garden and spend our hard-earned money on garden accoutrements. Heck, we’re tony enough to use words like “accoutrements”! Give us a store! Please? Pretty Please? With a Mercedes Benz on top?

I Curse You, Computer Gods!

If you’re wondering why the Events Calendar is down, it’s because there are demons in the nifty new calendar software program I started using. I spent the time inputting all the fun happenings for May, uploaded them to cyberspace, went back to add a few more dates and kerplooey! Not only had dates disappeared, but some jumped to other dates! Soooooo…. I entered them again, feeling the pain of time lost forever to task tedium. That’s how dedicated I am to the avid gardeners of Sacramento. Saved everything often (always save often), uploaded the calendar… and kerplooey… AGAIN! In defeat, the Events Calendar sits unlinked. Contrary to how much time I spend in cyberspace, I do have a life and can’t get to it right now. But, hey, you shouldn’t be spending money at another plant sale, and you certainly shouldn’t be traipsing around another garden tour. Catch up on your laundry. Or spring cleaning. Or get your dates from the Bee, where people actually get paid to do this. 😉
