LOVELY WEEKEND

  We went here on Saturday. North of Tallahassee Florida.


 It's a beautiful garden that was once owned by the Maclay family. I think they were from Scotland

 Spanish moss in an oak tree, with a pine tree in the foreground


 A sago palm. That bit in the middle will become a flower. Sort of looks like a peacock

 The Maclay home

 The branch on the left is attached to the oak tree behind. The branch is growing along the ground.

 Me in my peacock dress I got last November for my birthday

 Hmm, I sense a theme. Stone peacock.

 Reflecting pond with palm trees

 Man made pond with native Florida plants

 Ray, taking a break

 And a peacock necklace. The blue top was thrifted. I have the dresses belt tied around my head.


 Don't know what these flowers are called.

 Ray: "I could go up to the top and you could take the picture"

Me: "You could do that, and I could take a picture of you breaking you neck"

 The natural part of the garden

 Close up of the print on my dress.

 The bracelet I had to buy at Miss Kitty's Cat Rescue

 Also got these sweet earrings.

 And some new kicks. Coach for less that Converse? $38, All-Stars were $44. And I saved $60!

Now I have proof. I'm sassy and everybody knows it. The theatre kids that belong to our university's USITT( united states institute of theatre techs) Chapter gave out awards on Friday.  How sweet.  Today I hacked a bunch of vines out of the yard, I swear Tarzan could have swung on some of them. Now it's raining. One more day of class, then almost 2 weeks off. We start summer stock on May 13th. Yikkies!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. TG- the peacock dress and cuff have attracted my magpie eye. But the best bewitching print is the imprint that your joyous smile has in your selfie. You look so joyful!

  12. What an incredible print on your dress. You look awesome in this. The nature there is so lush. Spanish moss always reminds me of trips I went on to Florida when I was a kid. So romantic!
