Greetings Blogger Buds,
Well....
While I was gone I got to meet the incomparable and talented Elizabeth Seckman. We hooked up for lunch and had all kinds of fun.
THEN the HH and I headed in to Philly to see the baby girl and SIL. On the way we saw this amazing rainbow. It was so big and pretty.
Once we reached Philly we were served a marvelous dinner that included this wonderful homemade tart.
The next day we visited the University of Penn's Morris Arboretum.
We also went to the gallery they were both showing at and to the zoo. More next week.
AND last but not least.
My goodness. You were busy - and busy with wonderful things too.
ReplyDeleteA very happy birthday to Denise.
Wonderful things indeed;)
DeleteThank you :)
DeleteSounds like a fabulous week. Love the beautiful photos. How nice to find a place where the little creatures can live. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt was good:)
DeleteGlad you liked the photos. I always enjoy yours.
Yes, the little creatures need homes too, don't they, Val?
Hugs received and returned.
What great photos and it sounds like you had a very good time. The creek looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Andrew, we did have a good time.
DeleteThe arboretum was amazing and just the right size. Big enough but not huge.
Looks like a fun place to explore.
ReplyDeleteYou got to meet Elizabeth! How awesome. She's one of my favorite peeps.
It was, Alex.
DeleteI can see why she's a favorite:)

DeleteThat full rainbow is awesome, and that tart is just mmm, mm mmmm! My wife and I have been picking wild blackberries practically right outside our back door, and put them on just about everything while they last.
