Laura,
LOL! I was over at Russells today and managed to get out with only 1 plant, unless you count 10 paperwhite bulbs! All the Christmas decorations are about 50% off so I picked up some lights for the fence for next year (the Caribbean blue variety)
I was at the Gardener's emporium at Tower Hill the past fall. I took only $50, but I spent every penny - mini pomegranate, lilac tree, natural dyeing books......
As for Callahan, it can be a mob scene at times. I live walking distance so I'm there almost every day. I find that if I go when the dog walkers do not, it's much more managable (they are there from 9:30-10:30 AM and 12:30-1:30PM usually). Andrew and Ben can be pretty rambuncious just the two of them. The new rules state that your dogs need to be leashed only on the outside paths abutting homes. Inside the park and near the pond they can be unleashed as long as they are under control. I haven't heard of any agressive dogs around lately - the regulars tend to make it pretty unwelcoming for anyone with a "bad" dog.
Let me know when you'll be going to Tower Hill - I'd love to go with someone who knows what they are talking about (my kids are totally bored by the whole thing)
Maybe we can do a walk next week?
