Getting Lucky in Licking County, OH
For the past nine years I have traveled around the United States for Journal Communications. Despite my tenure, I still get caught short every time the seasons change. As spring comes to Tennessee, I assume that it has come to the whole country. For example, my most recent trip was to Licking County, Ohio; it was by no means -41 degrees or anything like that, but it was still several weeks behind Tennessee. So there I was with only short sleeves and not even a light jacket packed, and I had an assignment that included Wilson’s Garden Center. I was not living up to the Boy Scout Motto: Be Prepared. Well if you can’t be prepared, you might as well be lucky. And lucky I was. Wilson’s Garden Center has an amazing indoor space, is full of flowers and has a really helpful Horticulturist, Shelli Berry-McDaniel. So despite my inability to remember that changes in the seasons are not the same time at all latitudes, I was able to come away with some nice photos.
