We stopped by Sacks Feed and Garden in Kingston recently and were greeted at the door by a sweet golden retriever. She escorted us as we shopped for doggie treats (was that why she was so devoted?), slug repellent, grass seed, and some fall plants. The store is stocked with gardening books, gifts, feed for all kinds of critters, and most enjoyable for us, flowers. It was a fantastic sunny day and the plants were putting on their best display for us. We decided to go next door to the Cup and Muffin to get a latte and stay a little longer. With only a trace of fall in the air plus the warm sun, it was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
