Garden Tour & Garden Party

Saturday's Garden Tour turned out to be an event. The expected 30-35 guests ended up being over a 100 with conversation, lemonade, and flowers in abundance.

Following the end of the tour (4:30) we regrouped for the staff Garden Party at 6:00. It was a fun time filled with foliage, fairy stories for the kids, and food, food, food.

The redesign of the space worked well. The addition to the deck tying the "tree" deck to the "cantilever" deck was the key. Thanks to Amad and all his ideas, hard work, and workmanship.

We'll be doing more entertaining here.

Braden James Klein

Upon the flurried tide with cogent eyes transfixed in wonder I see him move, not with grace but with style. Not as shore grass graciously sweeps to the sea but more like a sea lion with the drive of intent toward the prey he moves from one place to the next. Then stopping to raise his hands as if to say “I am the Walrus”, he looks for approval and beams at its recognition. In that tide he strikes the match igniting my heart. He is my grandson, my hero, my love’s intent unrestrained.

She joined me here

Lola spent the weekend in DC with me. My meeting schedule did not
allow me to spend time with her at home. She is the "nursling of my
immortality" and my dearest love.
