What's Going On

 My hydrangeas are gorgeous this year, 

to me, they are the prettiest I have ever seen!

I have a total of 5 and I would like to get a few more.

They are easy to propagate, 

I have thought about doing that with my own plants, as they are so healthy and beautiful.

Driving around at the shore you see some pretty amazing vehicles, this one was gorgeous...

the era of cars I love, and it was restored beautifully!

Another interesting car I spotted with monkeys hanging in the back!

Completely open aired, I could imagine some young, cool dude driving around in it.

Parasailing is a popular activity here at the shore, this is a common sight in the sky by the beach.

My neighbors Magnolia Tree is blooming.

It does not seem to be getting a lot of blooms, these 2 flowers are up high but I am enjoying them.

The plant is close to the property line, I probably enjoy it more than she does.

I spotted my first Monarch Butterfly this season.

 I planted Milkweed last year and I only saw a few Monarchs.

This year, I planted 2 more plants, I am really hopeful they find them.

Purl Soho Farmhouse Dish Towels

Leanne sent me the pattern for these dish towels, she knew I would like them, and I really do!

I needed some nice cotton yarn which I ordered from them and it has already arrived.

You just can't not love the internet and all the shopping options they provide.

This is the yarn I will be using, I really love it!

Recently, 

it rained all day and still the sky lit up at sunset, it was so unexpected, golden and spectacular to see.

Dinner On A Train

For as long as I can remember,

 I have been seeing ads on social media about this refurbished rail train 

where you can go and have dinner.

On the outskirts of, but still connected to 

The Madison Hotel 

is a stationary railcar serving dinner each evening.

Formerly the private domain of the rich and famous, these beautifully refurbished, 

turn of the century railway cars are exquisitely complimented by the food from 

Rods Steak House

We started with salads...

I had 1/2 of a BLT Wedge Salad

The hubs had 1/2 of a Caesar Salad

I had the Sliced Tenderloin with Mashed Potatoes and Onion Straws

The hubs had Filet Mignon, A Loaded Baked Potato and Onion Straws

- ooooh the butter florets -

The portions of food were huge and the flavors amazing.

Here is what it looks like on the outside...

If you can read this, it gives a bit more information about the parlour cars,

when they were brought to the area and when they were renovated.

This was an amazing experience and the food was outstanding!!
