I went to the grocery store on Saturday and they had many hanging baskets of begonias for sale

I wanted to buy one because I love begonias, especially yellow ones, but after shopping, I just wanted to leave, so I didn't.

This particular store has cooks on-site that prepare all kinds of food to heat and eat. Every Saturday and Sunday they give out free samples. They're very small, about an inch or so. One of the samples on Saturday was a lemon dill salmon salad. It was delicious but a little pricey and I was already spending enough so I didn't get any.

On Sunday I decided to go back and get a basket of begonias. They were all gone! In just one day! So I got a container of lemon dill salmon salad to help ease my disappointment instead.

Now I'll just have to look elsewhere for a basket of begonias. That is, if they have any left anywhere at this late stage of the game.

But hey...if I were to stop by, would you be willing to share your lemon dill salmon salad with me?

I'll bring paper plates, a few day-old biscuits and a gallon of white wine I just picked up at 7-11.

We can commisrate together. Text me at 867-5309 (Wyn).
