Dallas Arboretum ~ The Star of Texas

 

It was a beautiful day at the Dallas Arboretum last Saturday.

 

Just in case there’s any confusion as to what state you are in here’s the Star of Texas, a Longhorn, an Armadillo and a cowboy hat to set you right.

 

It was so lush with pinks, purples and many shades of green.

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of beautiful trees. The crape myrtle had such smooth interesting bark.

 

We were a little late for the wisteria but I can imagine how lush this was about a month ago. On our way out I bought a souvenir here that I will share in a future post. The afternoon was so lovely, sunny but not hot.

ABC Wednesday ~ P is for…

P is for Pioneers

 

My husband and I were in Texas this last weekend and we were able to stroll through the Dallas Arboretum (more photos from the Arboretum tomorrow) This is a replica of a Texas Pioneer Village at the Dallas Arboretum. Pioneers settled in Texas because of the availability of land. As the poplulation increased they’d add a general store, church, school, etc. to the village.

P is also for Palm Trees…

 

These were all taken in Southern California in my neighborhood or close by.

Our New Princess

Our daughter Katie was the princess, the youngest grand-daughter and niece on my side of the family for 22 years. She was usurped this year in her reign by our new little niece and princess, Hope. Katie has given up her throne willingly for this sweet new cousin. Once they meet I’m sure they’ll love each other more and more…

Here we are meeting for the first time. Look she’s smiling. I think she likes us.

 

Boy all these new fangled toys they have these days. She really got them whirling!

 

In the Baby Bjorn with daddy. I love when she screws up her forehead, sets her eyebrows and really looks serious.

 

We got to witness her baby dedication. Here she is in the very same dress her mommy wore.

At the dedication service with mom and dad.

She had quite the long day and is ready to escape to dreamland…

Recovering from a Fun Weekend

All the travel fun and time we spent in Dallas this last weekend has zapped all the creativity from my brain. I’m blah, blah, blah. I’m sure I’ll recover soon and then I’ll post the wonderful photos. I got permission to post photos of the “one who it’s all about”, our precious little niece. I’ll leave you with this shot and a promise of more to come plus some classic Texas shots soon!!

 

Have a great day y’all!

We’re headed to Dallas to spend the weekend with my brother and his wife and we get to meet our new niece for the very first time. Yippee! We are excited to see her face to face and get acquainted with this new little person in our family. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and Lord willing I’ll visit on Monday…
