Allaire State Park

 Allaire State Park is one of our favorite places to visit and take a walk.

Monday evening, 

we decided to take a drive there and walk during the quiet time of day as the air cooled off.

Dusk is such a pretty time of day and we walked the bicycle path which has a few new bluebird boxes.

First we stopped to see the garden, on the right, at the entrance to the park.

If you ever visit, be sure to stop and see it.

I don't know who planted this or maintains it but this garden is really special.

So many of the plants are planted in pieces of trees, I love that!

This beautiful planting hides the fence post.

Don't miss all of the small, wonderful details.

During our walk we saw several new bluebird boxes and bluebirds.

They were just this blue, bluer than I have ever seen.

We saw a lot of wild strawberries...

and some really pretty wildflowers.

We did not enter the park but you can see a recent post that shows the buildings and inside the park

It is a wonderful historic park.

Chester County Car Show

 This car show is amazing and we go almost every year.

This year the show was scheduled for Saturday, I was so tired and not really excited about going.

Rain was in the forecast and the show was cancelled and rescheduled for Sunday.

I was so happy as I was sure after a days rest, I would feel more up to going

and enjoy the show as I always do.

So...are you ready to see some really amazing cars?

I know you are, 

these cars are so well restored, immaculate and have a shine like "no bodies business"

My 2 favorites, parked side by side, both had the same owner.

This was a beautiful car as well, the picnic basket on the back seat made this one a winner for me.

The hubs said he was going to steal an onion ring!!

oooooh the wood paneling, who remembers that?

A Chevelle SS, the first car the hubs drove, also blue.

We ended our afternoon at a cute tea house 

Sally Lunn's Tearoom

having tea sandwiches...the perfect ending to a really fun day!
