Have a Great Weekend!

Hi friends!
I promise to have some photos of our "Freshman Day" posted soon!
...having a few technical difficulties...
In the meantime have a great weekend
and Have a Happy Halloween!

ENJOY A

AND


BUT
Fun filled

On the mend!

Well hello again!
You may have noticed I have been absent for a bit.
Two weeks ago today I had surgery. I had injured myself in "boot camp" at
the gym. (yeah... I know... What was I thinking??)
I'm on crutches and trying to get back into the swing of things at work.

Today is "Freshman Day" here at school. It is the day the freshmen find out
who their "Big sister" is that has been welcoming them here and suprising them with goodies
and notes these past few weeks.
I am armed with my camera and hope to get some cute shots.

Have a great weekend all and I shall return with photos!

And it continues to pour in the Northeast

Hello friends!

I am nice and warm and dry here at my computer but,

man...ohhhh man....

has it been raining the proverbial cats and dogs

here in New England!

My deck feels so slippery

I think the wood must be totally saturated.

This seems like a good night to continue with my post on St. James Court.

As it had to have been a blazing 101 degrees

the day Marlene and I went on the garden tour.

Here you see the grand

entrance to my home.

***Yeah right...don't I wish! Teeheee

This fountain and brick patio was unique for a back yard.

There is really something to be said for a shady

waterfall in a summers garden!

Actually we saw several waterfalls

Each one had a personality of its own

Note this cute frog fountain!

(top left corner)

When I saw this little table...

I thought it would make a sweet little painting!

And speaking of painting...

One garden had several artist's working in various mediums

I will end this posting for tonight with a glimpse

through the garden gate.

Have a lovely evening and

I will be back again really soon!

St. James Court

Today is the St. James Court Art Show!

It is held every year early in October (Louisville KY)

This juried art show hosts over 750 artists!!!

The beautiful location in -Old Louisville -gave me lots of inspiration when my

cousin Marlene and I visited the gardens last summer.

Since I am unable to be there for the Art Fest today

at least I can be there

in spirit

while looking at my photos!

When Marlene and I strolled past the marvelous old Victorian homes last summer

I was taken with the

architecture,

street lights

and lovely gardens!

They have the loveliest fountain that

divides the street

Believe me it was so refreshing on that HOT sizzler of a day!

This lovely home

is a Bed and Breakfast

Such a pretty doorway

And another lovely doorway

All of these homes (like their owners) just ooze Southern Hospitality!

Ahhhhh Come on in for an iced tea Y'all !! (LOVE IT)

Thats all for now

But, I look forward to sharing more of the lovely gardens

that are in the yards of St. Johns Courtyard

Bye for now

:O)Mary
