Baltimore's Sherwood Gardens

On the north side of Baltimore among some swanky houses sits Sherwood Gardens.  It's known for its spring tulip displays.

[Joining Through My Lens}

Friday despite the fog three of us set out to enjoy the blossoms and then lunch.

The land was donated to the city by the owners of Sherwood House.  Read more of the history here.



It wasn't just tulips in bloom: dogwoods and azaleas were beautiful too,




















We were surprised to see this tree.  












My traveling companions: Carol and Lynn.



Some of the swanky houses.



We went to lunch at Cafe Hon, in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore.


Elvis greeted us at the hostess stand.






The food was good!

Four Years Ago

Shutterfly is now sending out memory emails.  I got one last week reminding me that four years ago we were visiting my brother and sister in law in Arizona.  We traveled with them to Sedona and those were the photos Shutterfly included in their email

Nice memories.
