It's Spring in Houston, that time of year when we sincerely enjoy being outside. Last week, thanks to the big law firm's sponsorship of the "Sip &Stroll" series, hubby & I visited Bayou Bend. This is the former home of Miss Ima Hogg (make all the jokes you want, this lady was rich, philanthropic, and had good taste. And NO, she didn't have a sister named Ura). This home is less than a mile from ours but it was our first visit. Doesn't it look like Scarlett O'Hara could burst through the door? Wrong state.
I stopped sipping & strolling for a minute for this pic:
Loved this fountain & wish we had one in our yard:
Here is a huge sycamore tree. They have run cables up the length of it to take lightning strikes.
Here is the Diana garden, named after the Greek goddess. I'm not a huntress, but Diana was apparently a good shot with her bow & arrow. Looks like venison for dinner!
Enjoy the weather, soon it will be too hot!
