"...the inside is do delightful". It literally drizzled all day and fluctuated between a light mist and a medium rain. Needless to say, much of our garden work was put on hold due to the sloppy conditions out in the gardens. However, with some quick maneuvering in the Horticulture Center, we were able to have about 12 volunteers working inside all morning on Holiday Lights Show (HLS) tasks. Above is the work area with volunteers testing lights, repairing lights, processing lights and working…

I was soaked and was having a hard enough time…
