A wonderful afternoon at Edward's Gardens

I had a wonderful afternoon at Edward's Gardens today.  I was
meeting an artist friend for coffee whose work is fantastic.
Thank you to Mike the super kind fellow at the parking lot
trying to help me pay my parking with my phone. We did
not succeed, and to my friend Vivian for rescuing me, and
showing me how to pay at the machine (I'm not a techie). 

Then we met the amazing artist Rosemary who was 
creating spectacular work, Chris served us the delicious
coffee. I gave my cards to a group of basketball
guys in the Dandelion -- the coffee shop, who were flying a 
hand made paper plane over the guests' heads. And
we met so many lovely people on our travels -- Susan,
Linda, and the kind people teaching me how to say
thank you in Arabic. 

All the while we looked at and wandered through
magnificent views of spectacular trees, glorious|
flowers, and sat in sweet alcoves offering some
shade on a magnificently sunny day with a blue
sky, and gorgeous white clouds.

I did this painting a number of years ago.  It's
based on a bouquet of exquisite flowers in
Nova Scotia displayed in a super vase a 
neighbour there gave me.

Have a loving your life day!
