I had forgotten about that, so thanks for your bringing it out again. <br />Yep, that's me and my web feet out there! You guys were pretty cute (on the reverse side of that camera).

She has so many beautiful things under cover that I am sure those who didn't venture out were able to enjoy her potted plants and delightful vignettes. Diana and the team worked so hard to put this event together and I know, however disappointed in the weather, she accepted it with her usual good grace. Or, maybe like I she had a glass of wine before you all arrived!Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-2696713324344362192018-09-14T11:56:57.139-07:002018-09-14T11:56:57.139-07:00Pants in the dryer(!), now that's the definiti...Pants in the dryer(!), now that's the definition of hospitality!

I knew it would be raining and had already resigned myself to that. I was delighted to have everyone in our home and loved the additional visiting it offered. I did take a small group of those ponchoed folks around, but photography was tough. I'm glad you got to see the garden, if only through the raindrops.
