A walk with history



Sunday Gene and I took a walk on the grounds of the Marston House near Balboa Park in San Diego.  The Marston's owned a department store in downtown....and their home is an historical site now....




...the landscaping is absolutely beautiful and Gene and I are still debating about what to plant in our yard....





....so we stopped and looked at all the beautiful flowering plants and Gene was busy snapping photos...



I LOVED these berries.....looks like a good wool project doesn't it?





....and this Hawthorn is all over San Diego right now and just bursting with blooms....






......yesterday Gene went to the nursery with photos in hand and tried to find out the names of all of his finds....




....and this is his favorite!  It looks wonderful in a huge garden, but might be a bit overpowering in our smaller space. 

I read this morning that it is snowing again across the country.....Sorry to be such a tease with these photos....but you can dream along with us!
