ramblings from an arkansas farm girl
Dear Sunday Letter readers,
Are you kidding me? September is half over and I’ve done nothing. Well, I finished painting our little cottage. I worked on my next article for Front Porch Magazine. (Thank you Arkansas Farm Bureau for allowing me to write my regular Delta Child column.) I pulled weeds and planted some lettuce and vacuumed the downstairs.
Yesterday, I watched football. Looks like I’m gonna need a new fall sport. And that’s all I have to say about that.Continue Reading
Oh my! Last weekend, John and I spent a few hours at the Denver Botanic Gardens. What a gorgeous garden chockfull of mature hedges, unusual plantings, native Colorado beauties, exotic water lilies, profuse succulent gardens, absolute heaven on earth.
The dahlia above☝was as large as a dinner plate.
I took a million photos (#slightexaggeration) and could have stayed the entire weekend.
Guess what? As members of the Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks… our admission was FREE. Reciprocity is a great perk of membership! (On my bucket list—to visit all the reciprocal gardens…how cool would that be?)
Today, I’m sharing some of my favorite pictures. Enjoy them. Pretend you are at the Denver Botanic Gardens and make plans to visit the next time you’re in Denver. It’s truly a magnificent place. I was a kid on sugar overload zipping along taking pictures and not getting the names of most these beauties.
The pictures don’t do justice to the flowers or the gardens.
Do they ever?
