T Stands for Flowers and Beer

Hi everyone. I hope if you live in the US you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.   Around my area I saw several lovely memorials to remember those who served but didn't return home..  And if you don't live in the US, I still hope you not only had a nice weekend but a nice start to the new week too.

My weekend wasn't too exciting, but my daughter did come home for a couple of nights. I also spent quite a bit of time starting to organize my new art space, and we had to help get my MIL back into her house for the summer. Supposedly her care person will be stopping by tomorrow and a couple of other days this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that goes well. 

It is already time for T again over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog, and this week I want to share some flowers.

Just like last year, I bought a membership at Bedrock Gardens, a local artsy public garden. I like supporting them, since besides being local,  they are fairly new to the public garden scene. They are also members of the American Horticultural Society and being part of that society gives members the perk of reciprocal visiting, meaning I can use my membership to get in free at 345+ gardens in North America. I actually did this 4 times last year, and hopefully I'll get to do that some more times this year. 

I thought today I would share some photos from my first visit of the year.

The next photo shows one of their new pieces of art.  I wish I had my friend stand next to it for some scale as it was quite large. Most of the art in the gardens is made by the woman who originally started them. 

Of course nature’s art is always pretty too.

And for our T day hostess Elizabeth, how about some rust? (This is part of the garden's bone yard. The woman who started the garden uses them for new sculptures-you can see some in my photos. There is a lot more than this photo shows.)

And lastly, my friend Jo, who I usually call my walking friend. She was trying to capture photos of a frog who was in the water.

Sorry for all the photos in this post. I took over 300, not that I will share them all because some are not good and some are too repetitive. I will share a few more some other day.

Since this is my T day post, I need to share my drink with you.

After my friend and I walked through the gardens, we went out to a local restaurant for lunch. I had a yummy turkey and avocado sandwich as well as blackberry sour beer (by the local Smuttynose Brewing).

No I was not drinking 3 drinks. My friend Jo had the glass of white wine. I ordered my beer, and they brought me the one on the right, which was the dregs of keg. The waitress came back a few minutes later with a new beer off the fresh keg, which is the one on the left. And I definitely could not drink both of those beers and drive home, so I just had the fresh one. And you can also see my water. 

And of course I forgot to take a photo of my sandwich, but that's what happens when you're hungry. Smile.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great T day and week ahead.
