And what sweetens the deal to the gardens, it's free! I thought I would invite you to come along with me ( as well as Big Daddy, Sister Sledge and J Smooth) as we explored the gardens. Hope you wore your walking shoes ;)
Ahhh! What a beautiful day to be in the sunshine! I hope you enjoyed the trip as much as I did.
I do want to make mention of an event that will be coming soon to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, it is called "Southern Turkey Tales, Greens and Get Togethers" and features treasured storytellers, Dolores Hydock and (hold your breathe) the incredible and legendary Kathryn Tucker Windham.
Last year I attempted to purchase tickets last minute and didn't get to attend. I hear that the general admission show (limited seating) sells out quickly, so if you are interested I would advise you to purchase your tickets NOW, like I did. I will NOT miss this year! The show (held in the lecture hall) is scheduled for Sunday, November 7, 2-4 p.m. and cost is $25.00 per ticket.
A DEAL to listen as Ms. Windham shares her memories and tales with her captive audience. The tales will consist of basically southernisms, and will be weaved with such a painted vision of words you will marvel at her artistry. Did I mention, you really should attend!

LEIGH....All of my mother’s family are from Alabama...the Crenshaws....went to Birmingham as a child and to Pratville....small world. I love the photos from the botanical garden trip. The next time I fly over for a HUGE family reunion I will need to stay overnight in B’ham and so to see them. That red bridge is so neat...I LOVE THE COLOR. I have my post reddy for later on....more of my little match box vintage treasures for the swap from the AM in Lexington (antique mall). Take care...it is hump day for this week. The principal is out of town for these three days so hope the troops won’t be tooooo restless.

Isn't it wonderful to be somewhat close to a botanical garden? Just a reminder to each of us that the earth is beautiful still.
