Very Late Lilac

I walked around the Gardens in Menahga on Tuesday while Far Guy was getting his teeth cleaned and a dental checkup.  They are Fall Gardens now, only one Daylily blooming but the Profusion Zinnia Series makes for a colorful border.

As I walked the outer circle looking at various plants...I was suddenly transported back to Spring or at least early Summer.

The sweet smell of Lilacs filled the air.  I think this may be a Miss Kim Lilac...who really knows for sure, I wondered why it was so late blooming. ...but I enjoyed it anyway.

After my stroll in the rain I drove over to the Lake.

Spirit Lake ...it was a gloomy rainy morning.

Then it was time to get my teeth cleaned and an exam. " No cavities but remember you can have that wisdom tooth that is sensitive to cold removed anytime."

Far Guy didn't have any cavities either...but has part of an old wisdom tooth that was not removed sometime long ago....it needs to come out sometime.

Two Dental Appointments accomplished and a loaf of flatbread was purchased from the Bakery.
 ( probably the best little bakery in our area.)

Menahga Gardens

When were were touring the city of Menahga for garage sales we ran into the Menahga Memorial Gardens est 1992.  I had never noticed these gardens before and I think they merit another look see in about a month!

Here is a look at the flowering trees, not much else is blooming there…well some dandylions.

Beautiful flowering trees!

Menahga has a summer concert series called Sounds of Spirit Lake.  It is a series of free concerts on the shores of Spirit Lake. We attended a few last summer and we hope to go again this year.  Outdoor events are good for us to attend, we can move our lawn chairs around where ever we want…away from the pefume.
