Well, up from a glorious nap, and I figured that I would throw my measly group of pics out there to give those that weren't able to join us a small sample...

Friday night there were only a few of us...Tilly, Gwendalou, Lynneweidman & DH, Azorina &DH, PNWMountaingirl, and myself and my hubby. It was a wonderful start to a wonderful weekend, and the only really relaxing part of the weekend! Chilli on back deck and an early evening was what the doctor ordered. Good thing, because then came Saturday!

Yeah Mary! I didn't have any of our arrival. Gwen was a doll and volunteered to drive all of us from Fri out to Pixy's on Saturday am. Her yard was so wonderful, it was hard to pry us out to get us to Lakewold! Katie59 and Katye went straight to Lakewold, and found out that they had actually scheduled a docent to give us a tour! (I had e-mailed ahead of time just to let them know we were coming..they took the rest into their own hands..but I am so glad that they did!) So....off to Lakewold Gardens we scooted.

Our tour guide was a retired forest ranger named John (someone else can fill you in on the technicals of his background as I don't have the correct terminology) and he was wonderful. He not only could answer almost any question regarding the trees and shrubs we saw along with the rich history of the house and garden itself, but he was very personable and patient as well.

Yeah Pixy..pot ghetto zero increase is wonderful! One of us will be more than happy to post the recipies in the next day or so. Really glad that they were enjoyed!

Listening to John at Lakewold....
