Gardening with Great Grandma & Grandpa!

Today we went out to lunch with Grandma & Grandpa and Great Grandma & Grandpa!

We went to Red Lobster!
 

After lunch we went back to Great Grandma's & Grandpa's house. They had a water faucet that needed to be fixed. So, K got the chance to play in their beautiful backyard!

K's Great- Great Grandmother had the original " Green Thumb". I used to play in her backyard when I was a child. I remember playing in her greenhouse ( which is now my father's greenhouse), and I remember her vegetable garden being huge. Her entire backyard seemed to go on forever, when we went out there to play we could almost get lost in her garden. It was so much fun, and that's always what I remember first when I think of her. Now, K gets to play in his Great Grandmother's backyard, and it looks like a Japanese Tea Garden! Absolutely beautiful!  

Great Grandma's lemon tree.
Great Grandma's roses! That have been there since I was a little girl.

My cousins and I use to play under this tree and use it like a fort.

Playing under the lemon tree.

Come on Grandma, let's go for a walk!



K found a baby lemon!

Grandma got pieces of this beautiful flower to root, and start a new plant.
The original belonged to Great Grandpa's mother!

Beautiful!

K's taking a break.

It was a fun afternoon!
