ahhh, the imagination

Thanks for stopping by :-)
It is so nice walking through the garden and just outdoors in general.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Your happy things would make me happy too! I sure would like to visit SF soon, especially the Asian museum.

The Yerba Buena Gardens free outdoor summer Saturday shows sounds wonderful. We had a great time in San Francisco when we visited there.
ReplyDeleteI will look for more about Things You Can Do: How to Fight Climate Change and Reduce Waste.
I love walking through gardens too. Enjoy your books and have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI went to the Japanese Tea Garden a couple of times as a kid, but I haven't been there in years. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty garden. Looking forward to summer and all the outdoor jaunts.
ReplyDeleteThe Cruelest Month sounds good. Brian and Charles sounds a bit quirky, but I might give it a shot.
Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a nice week.

ReplyDeleteI've seen Just by Looking at Him at the store and it intrigues me. Have a great week and happy reading!
Golden Gate Park's Japanese Tea Garden is gorgeous. Even though I've been to San Francisco several times and I always visit the bridges, I've actually never been to Golden Gate Park. I'd love to go at some point.

ReplyDeleteI love cello music and the garden pic is lovely!

Hmm- I started a post but it disappeared. Anyway- I like your lovely garden picture. I have always liked botanical and tea gardens.
ReplyDeleteCult Classic and Things You Can Do sound interesting to me.
Hope you have a good week and Happy Reading!
I haven't walked through the Japanese Tea Garden in years, but I remember loving the tranquility there. I love cello music so neat you got to listen at the art museum.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
