My uncle Mike and aunt Jeanne hiked with us at our neighbor’s beautiful Big Bone Gardens.
Mike and Jeanne are standing by a cute lily pond. Mike was nice to give Theresa his walking stick, which was hand-carved by a friend. You can check out Mike’s new hiking blog at Big-Canoe-Hiker.com.
I join the photo, and naturally Shadow is our shadow.
This is the larger lily pond. It was blooming when we visited. Quite a sight!
The pond lily flowers are pretty and immense. Many are as big as a basketball.
The tall exotic grasses almost swallow alive Theresa, Mike and Jeanne.
The cabin at Big Bone Gardens was originally built in the 1840s and reconstructed here.
Mike and Jeanne take a break at Mark’s cabin in Big Bone Gardens.
A grassy road leads us home.
What a beautiful place for a hike!! After seeing the pictures it made my “I really need a vacation” worse
