Bainbridge Garden Tour

We went to Bainbridge on Saturday afternoon to attend the garden tour on Sunday morning.

While waiting for the ferry, we went to Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe.

OK, on the island now. This is where we got married, in my in-laws' backyard.

This is a nice place to drink wine. Last night we had some 2005 vintage red Bordeaux. Yum.

They're all waiting to hear Ciscoe Morris speak. Since this blog is sort of about not meeting Ciscoe Morris, I get back on the bus.

Back at the garden tour headquarters, they're selling this plant that Chuck calls the Harry Potter plant. And they're sporting those purple blossoms he told me about too.

On the way home, we stopped at Rosedale Nursery. I'll have to show you photos sometime.

Solanum pyracanthum! Finally, I can put that out of my mind.
