The sun was still pounding at 5:00 pm
(but not too severely), as my mom and I
strolled down the block to
Deborah's Garden Party.
She is our lovely neighbor, who
has been experimenting in her
garden the past few years.
Her goal is to plant only indigenous
plants & flowers.
Ones that can tolerate this climate,
which can be unusually hot and humid!
~An Eco~Friendly garden~
Deborah keeps her grass to a minimum
and strives to use less water like another
friend Lea.
Each of us was asked to bring a
plant from our garden.
We were able to take home a
different plant or flower, to
add into to our own garden.
I brought a few of
"Ileta's Ferns"
And included a note about how my
mother came to have them.
~The Repast~
Donna, catered the party.
This was her first event, EVER !!
She gets a BIG gold star for a doing
a spectacularly, delicious job!
We hung out on Deborah's
wrap~around porch and enjoyed
Spring breezes.
Then, as dusk turned into darkness,
many of the guests left.
But a few of us stayed & sat in the dark. Gathering around the porch swing, enjoying being there with each other,experiencing such nice weather
and being outdoors.
Did you know the pineapple is the
symbol of friendship and hospitality?
We spoke of many things including
how fortunate we are to live in
our little town. About the beauty
and spirit of this special place
and it's people.
This little froggie joined us.
Before leaving, I took this photo.
It expresses the loveliness of last
night. Then when I got home...
Look who was still waiting
up for me!!
Some people are very lucky!!
