Clark County Mini-Tour
It is a rare rainy day here in August (or more accurately, a wet, drizzly day). That means a break from watering and a good chance to catch up on blogging and other computer-related tasks. Before I continue with my England tour highlights, I wanted to share photos from this past Sunday's mini-tour of four gardens here in Clark County (an event sponsored by HPSO - Hardy Plant Society of Oregon). I saw three of the gardens on Sunday. I had already visited the fourth one, Lynne Heidsiek's native habitat garden, when she was part of the Study Weekend tour that we were on. Our first stop was the marvelous shade garden of Margaret Stapenhorst. A bluestone patio is surrounded by towering mature trees that shade a woodland garden. There was a fern table and a moss garden, as well as garden art by Steve Farris. Loved, loved the waterfall. This is what I'd like to do in our front garden, but I don't know if we have the room. Just a few streets over is the garden of Eloise and Bo...
Phillip, not only looks wonderful but sounds delicious. Love okra but have not grown it in our vegetable garden... brings back many fond memories of living back east. Tell Michael he can whip some up for us anytime. :)
ReplyDeleteHe did learn to cook...just like my granny used to make! Yumm....good stuff!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful plate of food and I know it tasted even better than it looks, somehow.
ReplyDeleteI love all your fiesta dishes. So pretty. Are they new?
Now I know why you love Michael so much, it is his cooking. YUMMMMMM I can't bake much of anything but I can make a mean dinner. :)
ReplyDeleteDoes that look fabulous!! I just had 'Southern' today, LOVE IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the sort of stuff my Grandma in Arkansas used to make! My family roots are Southern on both sides, and I do love the cookin' down yonder.
ReplyDeleteThis plate envies Paula Deen's and I know...I ate at her restaurant. Now all you need is a glass of sweet tea. I put a sprig of mint in mine..have you tried that? I also stole that idea from PD. Looks dee-licious!
ReplyDeleteDelicious!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmm mmmm! That looks delicious, but I'm not surprised. He always cooked delcious food when I was there.
ReplyDeleteFresh mint tea and fresh lemonade mixed half and half. Mary
ReplyDeleteLooks like a heart attack on a plate, but what a wonderful way to go!
