Robin was up early; she went to the kitchen. I was up early; I went to the office. When Mary arose, we all got together. We chatted and talked to Colleen to check up on Calhan’s progress.
So what do we have here? This image is a genuine two-story outhouse attached to a two-story hotel. Until I read the details, I did NOT want to be on the first floor (for obvious reasons). I feel this way sometimes, especially when the password fairy sprinkles her dust on my computer!
Oh my!! Look out below!!!
To bring it up to date, I colored the old outhouse, revealing some additional details. The second-story “two-holer” is on the back of the building, so the droppings miss the folks downstairs! This is a great idea!!
Oops!!
So, back to the main story. We all decided to walk, and tried a new route to pass Linda’s wonderful garden. Her garden is located about half a block from our place, and it was spectacular, as usual!!
The pink flowers were everywhere! The image shows Alstroemeria, also known as Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas.
Flowers everywhere!
The lilies lined the front fence, revealing a manicured lawn complete with bird feeders in the ees. Lilies are a flowering plant that is known for their large, colorful, and often fragrant blooms. They grow from bulbs, are native to the northern hemisphere, and are commonly found in Asia, Europe, and North America. Lilies are popular in weddings, bouquets, and other regal ceremonies. They are also poisonous to cats, so it’s important to keep them out of reach of your furry friends.
The lilies were magnificent.
I planned to have lunch there, but Mary reminded me it was someone else’s lawn! Phooey, I had a plan!!
We love their front yard.
We looked at Lind’s roses and wondered if they were climbers.
Do you climb?
They are definitely climbers, and they have hundreds of flowers. We are going to the plant store to find a couple of these for the front yard so they can overhang the entranceway!
Silly question!!
Linda planted Evening Primrose, which will take over the place unless she is careful.
Mexican poppies!
The red lantana looked like a charcoal fire. Lantana is a popular ornamental shrub known for its vibrant, long-lasting blooms that attract pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. It’s a heat-tolerant plant that can be used in containers, landscaping, and hanging baskets. Lantana is also part of the Verbenaceae family, with the most common ornamental species being Lantana camara.
A bed of red!!
Oh my, a rock varnmit!
We are being watched.
We have a new route that is not hilly, yet provides a mile’s worth of effort.
I started the GPS a little late, but only about 400 feet!
After our walk, we were starved, so I suggested the Original Pancake House. This way, Mary did not have to cook, and we could share the breakfast (their portions are amazing).
The Original Pancake House for breakfast!
Our eyes were bigger than our tummies!
We loaded up!!
Returning home, Robin wanted to try the trike, so she zoomed down the street!
Robin tries the trike!!
We rested for a while and then got ready for the Fullerton Elks Saturday night event, the local high school jazz band. They were terrific!
We are at the Jazz Club High School Band at the Fullerton Elks!
We sat with George and Beverly, longtime friends and fellow dancers.
Beverly and George are a great couple and good friends.
The event lasted from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and included a fantastic Italian dinner. We had a glass of wine and then danced several dances.
The lodge had a 50/50 drawing, so Mary and I brought five tickets for each kid (and their instrument). We hoped one of them would win, but an adult won the drawing.
