AWWWWWWWWW, I :ding: the picture of Shadow....I miss that doggy. He's such a good boy.... thumbup So lovable.

How much do you want to bet that I could finished all of my food at Bubba's? lol Looks like you're all having a nice time there in your pink shirts. How long do you get to stay? Or did I miss that.......

Guess before too long Bill will be outside setting off the fireworks, and if I know him he probably bought some really cool ones!!!! thumbup

Not sure if I'll ever make it back out there, but it's def. a place where good friends on here should try to visit if they can. It's a place you never forget.

Cute, I think deer are so pretty. Did you have a lot of deer in KY Cindy?

I would've posted more in this topic but it's been on heck of a busy weekend for me........non stop today and yesterday.

Is Shirley napping a lot because the time change has her messed up? That 3 hours is a big adjustment. Is this their last night there?

Wouldn't it be cool if each and everyone of us had the chance to visit Cedar Hill to see it's beauty? And just the mountains covered in snow are a site to behold. Mark couldn't get over that.

I tried looking up that blue bush, but nothing blue came up - only white flowers?

This is what I found...
Quote
Viburnum tinus (Laurastinus)
Leathery dark green foliage, new stems are wine-red, pink buds open white, lightly fragrant, blue/black berries. Likes a cooler location. A yellow variegated cultivar has been introduced that is very attractive.
This plant is relatively small and compact, to 4'.


How old is that bush? It looks huge!

The blue looks like a ceanothus to me. The blooms have come and gone on mine. It is beautiful whatever it is.

I think Tina is correct - might there be a mix-up with the name? I searched Tina's suggestion and all the pictures look like yours, Diane.

But if it is what Tina said... then it's only hardy to 5*F, and would be marginal here then. tears

Ooo, I hope you all get to go to Rootbeer falls, it's beautiful. clap

It's funny you post the blue bush, I just put a picture of it into my scrapbook the other day....very pretty shade of blue.

So Shirley, you're taking Amtrak over to Spokane? How nice that you'll be visiting with your son and family too! thumbup

Diane, is your hubby fairing well by himself? I'd hate leaving Mark, it's hard to tell what I'd come home to. haha

Enjoy your day today at CH!

While I really dislike rootbeer, I love the name of the falls!
Why is it named that?

if i remember bill telling us right, it is because the leaves have leached color into the water making it root beer brown. and when the falls stir it up, it gives it the look of root beer.

loz, remember how i hopped around and climbed around like scott? lol we had so much fun there.

good morning all!!

It is so beautiful seeing all the plants. I love every little flower!!

and the deer were so cool to watch yesterday. they would just stand there and let diane and I watch them without any fear!!!

Loz, it is going to be so cool to take that train ride. I've never been on one and I am going to pretend I'm on the Orient Express!! LOL

I have half a suitcase full of shorts and tank tops.....oh well....maybe I will get to wear them in Spokane!!!

besides all the beautiful flowers, I love the squirrels...and yellow and black finches....and all the other birds....and the really cool forest...and...and...EVERYTHING!!!!
