White Wednesday and a little drive around town



Most days after we close hubby likes to pick himself up a coffee.
Most days I just stay here but I decided I needed to take a little break too
and we went for a short drive to my one of my favorite spots.
The new park in what used to be the old dump.
I’ve shown you this place a few times
This year many of the wildflowers that used to be there are no more….or at least not as many.
But that’s ok I still love seeing one of my favorites
Queen Anne’s Lace.

We didn’t stay long…..George wanted to get back to work.
He’s a workaholic…..did you know that?
But that’s ok so am I.
It’s a good thing we work together …we’d never see each other.

On the way back out we drove down main street admiring the flowers that the Garden Club plants every year.
This year the theme was
Monet’s Garden.
I think it’s the prettiest one they’ve done.
We especially wanted to check out our friend Elisebet’s ( swedish spelling)

She had planted them before Memorial Day weekend so that
everyone attending the parade could enjoy them.
I found out later that the other ladies now wait until after the parade because people
step on the flowers.

I’m happy to say the flowers came thru unharmed.
I think it rained during the parade so probably not the usual crowd.

This was the planter next to Elisabet’s.
next one down
I still like hers better :)

Of course it wouldn’t be right to not include the finale to the little drive about.

The coffee!
Nice touch with the cat hair stuck to it don’t you think?
