Spring has been a long time coming this year, but a visit to the Dallas Arboretum for 2015’s version of Dallas Blooms can certainly make one know that spring has arrived. Gorgeous tulips line the walkways.  The tram driver told me that 500,000 bulbs were planted this year, and they are all new bulbs. Visiting the […]

The George W. Bush Presidential Library was on my “Want to Do List” this Christmas.  I was afraid that I was going to miss the opportunity to see the current exhibit – All Creatures Great and Small – that displays the ornaments from the 2002 White House Christmas tree and paper mache animals from that year’s White […]

It took awhile, but we finally got to the Arboretum with Hot Rod.  Of course there were pictures taken, and I want to share. When we were at the Dallas Arboretum with Pretty Baby, the mums were not in bloom.  On this visit, they were gorgeous.  Look at the azaleas.  They were in full bloom also. The pumpkins […]

Hard to believe.  October came and went, and I did not get to go to the Arboretum.  Not one single day did I visit the gardens.  I love going to the Arboretum.  It is one of my most favorite things to do in the entire world.  I like it.  I love it.  (Alas -The State […]

Summer at the Arboretum

I don’t think we have ever gone to the Dallas Arboretum in August.  Too blooming hot!  But, was I ever surprised.  They actually have flowers blooming in this Texas heat. Sweet Mother of Pearl.  Look how pretty this is. The gardens were green and lush. Here is a close up picture.  What are these beauties? […]
