A Whimsical Garden in Matlacha Florida

This Garden in Matlacha was a delight to walk through! 

It is the pride of Artist Leoma Lovegrove, her whimsical garden is just outside her art gallery.  All the mosaic work, the colors, designs, flair is uniquely hers.  I can't say when I've been in a more fun place! 


 Who paints tree trunks?  Leoma does...delightfully!

Stepping stones lead from one pathway to another 

 The stage area with a large round patio of mosaic tile

 A walk out to the dock where we are advised to Love They Neighbor

 The bottle trees are gorgeous

Visit her Facebook! 



Later we went next door for Ice Cream

Where every set of tables were hand painted in different styles 

And even the sides of the buildings were attractive enough to photograph!

Everything looks picture perfect! I particularly love the walk out dock. I would love to stay there for a while with the refreshing view. And that ice cream looks yummy too.

Thank you for linking up in my Sunday Series Jeannie :) I appreciate it.

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one ...

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

Image
When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside ...
