It's been WAY too long since I've had a chance to see Ester!
And see the white flowers behind us? New plant for me, and actually a new plant fact that I had no idea about. This is Clematis recta, a shrubby clematis that is not a climbing vine. I didn't even know there was such a thing.
Here is a cluster of the flowers, closer. It has a lovely sweet scent. It's a garden plant, not native.
We went out to eat at Ester's favorite restaurant. It's way out in the country, but it has a pretty good clientele because of the quality and the atmosphere. Here's our food. I had Hawaiian chicken and Ester had sirloin.
They have this landscaped pond with little waterfalls outside the windows. I've showed you this before. But the other times we've been have been earlier in the year, so not quite as pretty as today.
There are purple martin houses and hummingbird feeders. Also, an oriole came in to get a snack while we were there.
I'm going a little bit farther south tomorrow. Stay tuned. A very fun day. It's been about 5 years since we've managed to get together.
