Garden Ride
This Sunday is the annual Flagstaff Garden Tour. Fourteen gardens will be on the tour. The descriptions make the gardens sound irresistible.
I titled this post "Garden Ride" because we take the tour on Julie's new motorcycle. Last spring she began looking for the right ride because my motorcycle is uncomfortable, a fact that I don't deny. Late in the fall she found one but I was reluctant to to buy at the time. A few months ago she saw an advertisement and called the owner. He and his wife were on a three month vacation so we waited until July 3 to look at it. Bingo! Right motorcycle, right price. We bought it and will sell my motorcycle.
Julie doesn't have a motorcycle license nor could she handle the weight and size but she has a chauffeur -- me.
Our anniversary passed recently but we couldn't celebrate because my daughter and grandsons were visiting. This is our celebration weekend and the garden ride is part of our celebration.

- A soothing oasis...
- A fragrant relaxing garden...

Enjoy your ride.
Ah...marital motorcycle bliss..........
Sounds like a pretty good deal! What else could we get the wives to buy that they want but can't really use, so we have to use it for them?!
I hope you'll post on "Blue Zones." I haven't read it yet, but read about them in National Geographic Traveler. (Or some magazine like that.) I find it fascinating that Dan Buettner (sp.?) was able to identify nine factors that his long-lived communities have in common. I'm sure you were happy to read that gardening was on of them.
Sounds like a great way to celebrate your anniversary. Please accept my belated gretings for the occasion.
