Off for a Ride...

 
Doesn't this remind you of 'fall'?? smile... Funny, this lady planted her garden in her front yard. Strange...I know, but what a garden she had. Corn, tomatoes and know pumpkins!! I read about this 'somewhere' that others were using their space in their yard, whether it was their front yard or any other space they have!
 
 
Now, when we were out for a ride yesterday, after we got our new glasses! We spotted this mule (along with some horses...I will be posting those pictures another day.) But, I just had to laugh when he came to the fence...of course we were in the car. I think he figured we had something to eat for him. ha...ha...

 
We drove through the rose garden again...they are all so pretty. There were ladies walking around checking them all out. Hard to see, but the fountain was flowing with water.
 
 
The Bandshell is so neat. My son and his band played there a few years ago. They also have a Saturday in the Park every year! Thousands of people pack this park, listening to the top named bands and just enjoying themselves. And every Sunday, there is an orchestra that plays music for any and all people.
 
The painted design is on the water tower. Very cool. The bottom picture is another view of the rose garden.
 
We've been busy for the last couple days, doing some doctor things. Like picking up our glasses which are so nice, we're very happy with the new lenses. We had to go down town and the streets are all tore up. It's like--where do we go now?? ha..ha.. But they have to work when the weather is nice, and it will be really good when they are all done. Are you having this problem in your city or town??
 
Hope you're having a good week....
 
more as it happens here in the city....

Lovely post, Gert. Everything looks so pretty around your town.
Maybe those folk find it more suitable to grow vegies in their front yard. Perhaps it gets more sunshine. I once grew a couple of tomato pants in my front garden:)
The donkey looks like he is smiling at you, with his eyes anyway:)
Hope you have a lovely week-end.

You know I meant tomato plants, don't you!

Music in the Park sounds delightful! So glad you have new lenses for your glasses.

I have heard of gardens being planted in the front, particularly in cases of very small lots. Lucky to have a pumpkin. The rainy weather here has not been good at all for those who grow pumpkins to sell.

Now I'm heading to the other post.:-)
