Pentwater Garden Walk....

Today we went to Pentwater's Garden Walk...
and YES ... we walked and walked and walked...
Whew - I have not felt this whipped
in a LONG time!!
Anyway we walked all around Pentwater,
looking at gardens...


These pics were taken from the garden that was my favorite -

I think our gardens are every bit as nice as the ones we saw today -

It made me think back to the time we were on the Garden Walk in Lexington
I really doubt that any of the gardeners from today spent
half the time that Bob did trying to get everything looking just right.

Amish Country

A ride through an Amish community -
We always see the big round bales of hay in the fields around us...
these fields were a work of art.....

 



Horses....of course

The silo..... 

and the farmhouse.....
simple living at it's finest....

A Cool Down!!!

Today was a very cool and very rainy day!
It has been "Georgia in the summer" hot here
for way too many days...
Our lawn has turned brown & crunchy
and our pond is shrinking!!
So today (our 2nd day of rain) was MUCH appreciated
I LOVED it!!
(Even as I was putting on a sweatshirt and drinking a cup of HOT peppermint tea!!!)
(Gotta love Michigan weather)



Here are some pics of the girls...and guys
enjoying their "Popsicles"
on the those super HOT days.
