Eldora Garden Tour Saturday, July 19

I have been asked to paint during the Eldora Garden Tour this coming Saturday. I went out to one of the gardens this morning and it was spectacular. I am really looking forward to this experience. Here I am at the rushing creek that runs through Eldora.
I went on this short hike with Nikki, the manicurist and pedicurists from Mountain Rose Hair Care. I was so very pretty out in Eldora, which is where Nikki lives.
This is one of the gardens on the property that we visited today. The garden tour will benefit a Peace Group, will let you know exactly the name tomorrow.
Closer view of the garden. There are at least twelve of this raised gardens with exquisite flowers, lupins, bleeding heart, columbines to die for. All over this area the columbines are going crazy. I have never had much success raising columbines, but they are wild here and seem to flourish. Will post more flower pictures in the next post.

Beautiful pictures, Pat! Looks like a nice place to hike.

I went to a beautiful place last night that I think you would enjoy. It's called sticks and stones organic farm and they have a drum circle. Dad said you go to Nacomis Beach and even have your own drum! The next one is August 16th...
