Birds Hill Park


We took 2 grandchildren to Birds Hill park this morning!).
We saw a couple of "fairy rings" and lots of mushrooms.


Chokecherries are very plentiful this year.




Goldenrod is abundant


Due to our rainy summer, the evergreens have done very well.


This man made hill was built in 1984 for the visit of the Pope.

I love Birds Hill Park. We went to the Farmer's Market there for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. I love the restaurant there and the gardens, they are so pretty! I did not know about that hill, though. I think we saw it. We stopped at the parking lot that over looked the lakes, then we went down to the larger of the two lakes. Good post! Hugs, Cindy S

My family stopped here one weekend for a picnic when I was a kid. We had no idea of the significance of the hill until we read the plaque. I felt quite surprised, as a kid in rural Manitoba, to find myself standing where the Pope himself one stood.

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel?
