Is this a.....What Day is This?

So - I have been having some fun this week!  We went to visit family in the Bay Area and then to San Francisco. 

 I am going to share a few pictures today- and that will be that.  

Morning Glory is leaving tomorrow and then life will be back to normal?


My nephew's daughter and Morning Glory in the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park.



Pineapples, also found in the Conservatory of Flowers.



Coffee plant - imagine that!



Some hanging flowers - there were LOTS of those in the Conservatory.  Beautiful place!


And last but not least - a family of turtles crawling up out of a very slimy pond.

Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA.

  1. Those pineapples looks very familiar. I bought a pineapple a while back & planted the top and lo & behold I ended up with three new pineapples.

  3. Ooohhh... love the turtles!

    It drives me crazy, Ms. Crazy that two of my favorite people were in San Francisco and I was stuck at home. You guys suck!

    Did you do the Japanese Tea Garden? It's my slice of heaven on earth place.

    Good pics! Okay, you don't suck. I do for being envious.

  4. Great pictures. It looks like you had a great trip to SF. I am going to make it out that way one day.

    By the way, your blog RSS feed is working. It's a good thing, so don't question it.
