Also Amy and I have decided that the Pomeroy blues festival is just unnecessary this weekend. So I'll be on the radio.
Look. Here is my house on Google earth map or whatever it is. You have to click on the street view and then swing it around to the left. Here's Amy's house.
A pic from the BG fireworks which went on to a good conclusion but then we got in the car to leave and there were more and apparently another finale. Who was in charge of this??
Here's the east half of my front yard.
And the west half.
The dining room at Westcott House, a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Springfield, OH, that Sherry and Amy and I visited a couple weeks ago. This pic was taken surreptitiously as the guide told us no photos although Sherry is still pissed about that Japanese girl and her sneaky little camera taking pix EVERYWHERE.
The front door which is actually at the side. It was a cool tour. Most of the furnishings are reproduction.
The front of the house on E. Main St. Apparently these are the biggest flowerpots FLW ever designed.
They are GIGANTIC.
It's a 2 and a half hour drive. Go I-75 to Troy and then take 41 or whatever to Springfield. And then call me for directions once you get to Springfield.
These steps are fabulous! They are at the next to last house we visited on the Secret Garden tour. July 12.
This is the backyard of that house in the first block of N. Maple with all the flowers in the boulevard, as it is called, I think.
This is the water feature at my favorite house which was on Lorraine.
Unidentified plant shot
Opium poppies for which we got seed pods at some other house.
The birdhouse/chair combo was real popular.
A 14' x 14' gazebo. For future reference.
The Hakels
False indigo. I gotta get me some of this.
The water feature at Gus's parents' house. It was really lovely there.
A bistro setting at Gus's parents.
Sandy Wicks's patio.
Birdhouses. I think I thought this was cute because it is the first one I saw.
Gooseneck loosestrife. I gotta get me some of this.
The chair. Encore.
The circular herb garden at this really hidden place where we actually walked into it from the backyard of the people behind them. Google it.
Yet another spot in that backyard on N. Maple. The place settings were to die for.
The lovely Annette in the swing at our favorite garden on Lorraine.
Here we are at the Dragon Boat Race about 8 a.m. in the rain. We were soaked through our clothes and then we paddled in the pouring rain.
But then it turned out to be a beautiful day and we won our second race in 1:59 and then we were robbed in the third race by being hit on both sides by other boats.
But it was a swell day and I'll probably do it again next year. I'll get Sherry's pix posted soon.
