As luck should have it, I got to go and hang out with Bill this weekend. I thought the place was stunning before, but to see it in its full bloom and beauty is even more beautiful.


These are the first sites driving up to Bill's house.


and


and the Walking Stick tree for Mel. (I think that is who wanted it). I think it is a lot more impressive without leaves.

The kids had an awesome time with Bill. He is so wonderful with them all. Mikey is particularly attached.

And a few more flowers

Wonderful pictures of the flowers and plants!

Looks like Mikey didn't want to let go of Bill!

I bet Bill never imagined his pic would be posted so much these past few months!

Got any more!

Ya know Loz, I was looking for more people pics, but most of them were plant pics. I do have a some pics of the Bus Stop but did not want to post those since Bill has not updated the building of it.

Great pictures, Triss. And I'm so glad you are back online. You have been missed.

Great pictures Triss.

beautiful

What a wonderful spring filled sight coming up to your house, and a spectacular sign of whats ahead Bill!!
Tris thanks sooo Much for sharing,, How wonderful that families here have the opportunity to get together and share their fun filled experiences with us !!

I'll bet it was cool, to see so many of Bill's gardens in bloom this time, Triss! (Can you tell us how tall & what kind of Clematis that is? ...and the pic right below it; are those Bachelor buttons?)

Do you have the link for the thread from your last visit handy? I'm not sure that I remember what the Walking stick looked like last time.

Thanx for sharing the pics!

thanks for sharing Triss, looks like the kids had a great time at Bill's, thanks again!!

What wonderful pics and great to know a fun time was had by all.... Thanks so much for sharing

Here is the walking stick tree from before.

I will look through the pics later and see about more people pics.

I can't even imagine how you keep up with six kids... Shaun was awesome, but he kept me on my toes until the day he moved away.
You have the BESTEST kids, Triss, and seeing them again was a real treat for me. (It sure made me miss my school bus kids though.)

Your family will always, ALWAYS be welcomed guests here! Thank you for a happy day (and all the help spreading that (1500#) gravel... I can't believe how fast that went with all those great Garden Helpers working on it!)

Bill, there is no way that was 1500 pounds of gravel. WOW, it sure did not seem like that much. Sure looks good there though! We will be back, the kids have already asked about when we get to see you next!

Tell them that before the summer is over that you will spend at least one night camping here... (then I can teach you how to properly enjoy Horney Toes too!

Yes, an overnight will be a blast! Then I do not have to worry about the long drive home, just the morning hangover!

I bet that was one nervous mommy with my kids running all over the HH. Have you got pics of the babies?

I am soo Happy that you live so close!! what a Joy it is to see the smiley faces!!! The only time I have seen Bills face is when Triss takes a picture. usually with one of her happy children!! But where is the pic of Bill and Triss??

hmmmm good question! Triss, care to answer that?

You make me want to get on a plane. Great pictures and posts. I love it.

I did not get a pic of Bill and I this time, but here is the one from the last visit.

i thought i had seen one of the two of you!

You did. I will have to get more next time!

Nice Picture Triss!! Love IT!!!
