Many of you know that my dear blogging friend Kj and I have met in person and now live two hours apart. Our friendship is easy and effortless, as if we've been friends since childhood.
This weekend I drove 100 plus miles to her house, no small feat for me with my driving fears. I bought a GPS, said a little meditation about being safe and off I went. It was a breeze! I actually enjoyed the drive and was there before I knew it.
Mim and Debra Kay were supposed to join us for the weekend too but sadly each had something pressing to deal with. Next time ladies!
There are no pictures of us in this post. What I did do was walk around the outside of KJ and JB's wonderful home and snapped pictures of things in the yard and in the park behind their house.
So please come along with me on this walk!
Azalea offerings at the front door...
Buzzing bees keeping busy...
The famous Magic Cottage! JB's art haven...
It seems JB has gone dancing with the mermaids!
A side view of the Magic Cottage and a sweet little bird hanger.
Look closely. Do you believe in fairys?
Iron and lace...
Three graces near the front door...
A delightful trio of rusted petals adorns a side fence...
More garden whimsy...
A little sundial at the base of an oak tree, kept company by a bleeding heart.
More whimsy with elegance...
Nestled cairns, KJ's creations.
Amber and iron spires...
And a magnolia starburst!
Now let's take a stroll in the park.
Past the frilly cherry tree...
Behind the pond capturing reflections...
Where an empty bench waits for company.
And finally a quick snapshot downtown before hitting the road to home.
It was a delightful and all too short weekend.
Thank you KJ and JB. You were gracious hostesses and great fun to be with!
Let's do it again ;) ♥
