3-7-2018  Gibbs Gardens with Angie and Layla:

It's that time again----time for daffodils!!!  So I had to get back to Gibb's Gardens before my membership expired, which is tomorrow!  Angie also has a membership, so she went, too.  It was a chilly 50ish degree day, but nice and sunny.  It was Layla's first garden visit!!!  I guess she liked it, she slept through most of it.  But Angie and I spent about 3 hours and 3 miles wandering around.
Looking towards the entrance.

daffodils!

heading towards the daffodil hill

pretty daffodils!

I don't think there were as many as last year, but they were still pretty.

especially these double or triple or... ones.

so many different kinds, too.

ones with pretty peach colored trumpets.

the jumbo pure yellow ones.

orange on yellow

yellow on white

OK, here they looked pretty full.

The Japanese Garden is even pretty in the early Spring

Love the carved rocks. 

interesting pine

pretty reflections

Layla still sleeping.  I guess she likes the cold air.

Japanese cherry?

She finally woke up, so we got a few pictures of her and Mommy.

She looked pretty happy to be here.

content little one.

Couple more pictures with her head band.

Love this sign!  "Body parts will be pierced!"

on the way out

Gonna miss this garden.  Made it there 4 or 5 times last year.  But now that we're moving a couple hours South, I can't see renewing my membership.   It was nice while I had it.
