Imagine Harriet's surprise when I went to let her out the back door of the gift shop and she laid eyes on these beautiful creatures. They were very content munching away on s ome of the over wintering perennials not ten feet from the door ~~ guess we will have more to plant in the display gardens in the spring. Before I could get back to the office and get my camera they had high tailed it down to the river. When I looked over to the left there were 6 or 7 more over behind the gazebo in the River Garden. Such an amazing sight. Now, I know that those of you that have to deal with these creatures eating your plants every day probably don't feel the same. But on a cold morning in February it was a wonderful way to start the day. And Harriet, she decided to sleep inside today. Take care and stay warm. Susan
