Did not expect to write about the Dallas Arboretum again for a long long time (Ever-Lovin’s request), but a few of us went to see the Chihuly exhibits at night.  The night was crisp and almost cold – perfect for a winter outting.  If they would have served hot drinks, it would have been beyond […]

The Dallas Arboretum – beautiful plants and flowers – Chihuly glass adorning the gardens (until November 5) – and then if you thought it couldn’t get any better – they add 50,000 pumpkins.  Yes, 50,000!  (The farmers around Floydada, Texas must be rich and happy.) Sweet Mother of Pearl!  Words escape me to describe fall […]

One of my oldest and dearest friends is Jane.  She is quiet about her service to others, and what she does is so meaningful. We have known each other since Bruton Bends days in the early 70’s.  She, John (John is really neat also.), lived in a house, and we were in the apartments across […]

Another post about the Dallas Arboretum?  Shocking isn’t it!  I have more to tell you – really. A certain nameless friend had been wanting me to take her to the Dallas Arboretum so she could see the Chihuly glass sculptures.  She has a birthday soon, and a group of us thought a day at the […]

Have you heard about the Chihuly Nights at the Dallas Arboretum?  Be still my heart!  I have mentioned more than once how much I have enjoyed the Arboretum this year.  The Chihuly glass sculptures in the gardens are breathtaking, but just wait until you see them illuminated at night. These ferns were Nancy’s favorite. I […]

Casa Flamingo Cathy is Ever-Lovin’s sister.  She enjoys and is good at decorating (understatement).  Her homes have been on the Bastrop home tours more than once.  A few years back, she moved into a grand old home and commenced to spit and shine it into a thing of beauty. Then the house next door became […]

Super Sister loves to garden, and she has a lovely garden. Come take a tour with me. Be still my heart.  Austin stone boarders the beds.  Love the ferns.  Oh, see the honeysuckle that covers the arbor.  Dream about sitting in this swing on a lazy summer evening, and enjoying the smell of the honeysuckle. […]

“Oh, what a beautiful morning.  Oh, what a beautiful day.”  Ever-lovin’ and I visited the Dallas Arboretum last week.  Even though most of the tulips are gone, and the azaleas have lost their blooms, words can not express how peaceful and refreshing it was to spend a day in the gardens overlooking White Rock Lake.
