Visitors Not Welcome

Meadowbrook Inn is where the England soccer team is staying. On Friday before they arrived, these barricades and fencing went up and now we also have Prairie Village police patrolling. They definitely do not want fans hanging around.
 

Garden Wonders

Cindy and I enjoyed the Johnson County Master Gardeners garden tour, with gardens we couldn't hope to emulate except in small amounts. I did like the way this homeowner used pots. Apparently she has 193 pots in her garden! Below is a charming tree house and two lovely visitors.

 

Infinity

A beautiful water feature at the K-State Extension Office in Olathe blends indoors and outdoors. Very calming.
 

Eat the Rainbow

Apparently you can eat the rainbow and just have carrots.

 

Celebrating Dad

On this his birthday, a shout out to my Dad, celebrating with Stacy, Hayden, Frances and Morgan. 1991
 

Welcome England

The England soccer team is staying down the street from us in Meadowbrook Park. They are arriving this week but that's all that has been revealed. Interestingly they don't play in Kansas City - it's just their US base.

 

Floating Fountain

The birds now have entertainment in the birdbath. It is solar and floats.
 

It's Easter!

At least my lily thinks so. Each year I plant the Easter lily when it's done blooming and wish it well. This is the first time I have had one bloom in the wild.
 

Happy Birthday to Lowell!

To celebrate her 8th birthday, she started the day with a haircut and manicure. Hard to see but she has glitter, tinsel and feathers in her hair.

Then time for cake!~

 

Graduation Day

Colin graduated from preschool at Willow Woods. He was a class of two.

 

Something Blue, Something New

After 23 years, Stacy purchased a new car. This one also is a CRV and a lovely blue. Her 2003 CRV found a new home.
 

Swimming the Rio Grande

Scott, Cindy, Susan and I enjoyed the refreshing water of the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Park in Texas. June 1968.
 

Back in the Band

Vala played a tambourine with Mr. Stinky Feet. Colin wouldn't join the band but he had a lot of fun.

 

Novice Geocaching

Our first attempt at geocaching yielded this find. Some of the caches we couldn't locate even with hints but Adam was pleased when he figured this one out.
 

All of Us

We attempted to take a picture of the Morgan clan in attendance. We got close. And the Huggins clan cleaned up nicely.
