After a very lucky run of good weather for most of our outdoor functions, Mother Nature decided to remind us not to get too comfortable before July 5th arrived - which is, as we all know, the official beginning of summer in the Pacific Northwest. Of course, this happened on a day we planned not just one, but two garden visits for our group. The first stop was Kinsey Fair, a garden I'd heard so much about but never before had the opportunity to visit. Even the wet weather could not dampen our spirits and actually may have enhanced the beauty of this lush garden in its woodland setting.
We encountered so many lovely vignettes and beautiful expansive vistas that our hearts were all aflutter with an enthusiasm that could not be dampened by the rain.
With jackets and umbrellas to beat back the cold and wet weather, we scoffed at Mother Nature. There was no way we would allow her to have the satisfaction of chasing us away from such a beautiful place.
After the tour, we gathered inside the guest house to eat lunch. What a treat to have a comfy, dry place to visit and refuel before saying goodby to Millie and Penny and continuing on to our next stop.
