Last week we drove over to Athens because that's the only place we could find to accept the kittens with a good chance of them being adopted rather than the alternative. When we were there we spent a little time at their arboretum where I took this picture. Kinda like it!
Yesterday we were in Carrollton and had lunch at a cafe on Addison Circle. We walked around the main plaza there and I took this similar photo. Also took the one below of a resident there helping me clean my plate:
It's been a week or so since the storm and we're seeing new tree losses down along the trail. The leaves on the fallen trees are beginning to die and what we didn't notice as fallen trees then, we do now. We also walked the long trail today and found several more - one was huge and it was along the west property line. This one, although the picture doesn't really show it, was a good size tree too.
This weekend was Mayfest in Winnsboro. This is a street shot and a picture taken in Art & Espresso. The guy in the black shirt is Gene. His wife, Suzanne, is the one with the white hair and the boy is their grandson. (They're looking at someone coming in the door.) Marilyn is the one that owns the shop. She's short but not as short as she looks here - she's getting something from under the cabinet. They make what's been recognized as the best coffee in Northeast Texas and their lunches are excellent too. It's every Wednesday lunch for us and Gene and Suzanne - and, as you can see, we were all there on Saturday too.
And you know what this:
Oh - one last thing. I posted a picture a while back of me and another Master Gardener accepting a local award for the Quitman Special Education greenhouse project we worked on last year. Recently the project won another award - a second place award for the Texas Master Gardner's 2009 Project.
