Yesterday morning I headed out for a Perennial Fest hoping to capture some gorgeous images of their displays. But as I drove the clouds began to thicken and the possibility of rain was definitely on the horizon. I met with my gal pals and as we scurried through the displays the clouds continued to gather and become darker. I was definitely looking forward to the possibility of much needed rain, but because of the dark clouds the pics were not as light as I had envisioned. We barely made it through all the displays before the winds began to blow more intensely and the "feel" of rain coming was imminent. We ran for our cars just as the first BIG drops began falling and that was the end of the Perennial Fest outing. To compensate for our disappointment we headed for the nearest eating place and drowned our sorrows in some eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and pancakes. As we sat and stuffed our faces with food the rain continued on. We were truly hoping that it might be a passing shower and we could go back for more of a look-see, but NOT...it continued to rain (which we really needed) so I headed home. I may try and return later because I do so enjoy meandering through their lovely displays with water features, pathways, fencing and ofcourse the wonderful floral & plant arrangements.
Fairy gardening is BIG right now....I haven't even considered beginning this new trend. I have enough trouble keeping the regular garden alive. But I have to admit it is quite charming.
The clouds were really strange....it was like waves rolling in...
Later I drove to meet with my daughter and granddaughter to attend the Family Fun Night at my sweetie's residence. The staff always present such a lovely event when they plan these evenings to join the residence with their families. Hot dogs and hamburgers were served then we all gathered in the "town square" to enjoy some great blue grass music.
It was a busy day and a good day. We even danced a little....(we used to dance a lot and we loved having fun) I can still make him smile.
Have good days ahead.
Until next time.....
Very cool clouds, never seen anything like that before. Love the collage and that you can still make your special guy smile.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize Fairy gardening was such a big thing right now, but I can see why. So cute! Those clouds are just...wow. I've never seen anything like it. Looks like something from another planet. Very cool. Glad you got much-needed rain even if it interfered with your plans. Also glad you got to spend time with your hubby and had fun. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a lovely afternoon. (We received some much needed rain this afternoon, too). And you're right about those clouds. They really do look like waves at the ocean.

It looks like you all had a great time at family fun night, thanks for sharing about it. and thanks for sharing the cloud pictures, the cloud formations are unusual and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos! Really stunning. Glad you had a lovely time at the Family Fun Night. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, Deanna. That photo of the rolling clouds looks like a watercolor.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of fairy gardening but it looks like fun - but like you, my own real garden needs lots of TLC. Those clouds look really odd. Hope you are safe.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pity that the rain didn't wait until you had finished your tour! But you've got a bunch of wonderful photos, nevertheless! I also love your collage of the Family Fun Night and seeing you and your husband dancing there!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday Deanna. Your blog is always so tender and family/friend oriented and is truly a delight to come visit. Fairly gardens are adorable and wish I could devote a little corner of what I do have to it. Your photos today make me feel as tho I'm right there in your corner of the world
ReplyDeleteOh my I have always wanted a fairy garden at the base of a tree, with a door, etc., but this has given me some ideas for my English hayracks on my dining room window that I haven't planted yet! What a really fun place. And I adore the collage from family fun night!! xo
