Alice Makes Dinner and We Visit the Botanical Gardens

Saturday Dinner at Alice’s

Alice cooked chicken and vegetables for a delicious dinner. Ice cream bars for dessert.


At the Botanical Gardens

One Sandhill Crane was wading in the pond.
Michigan is now home to around 25,000 cranes, with many more present during migration.
Cranes were almost extinct 60 years ago, with a dramatic turnaround in the 1970s.

Spring flowers were beautiful.

A sale of garden plants was taking place in one of the greenhouses.

We didn’t want to plant sneezeweed, but it’s a great plant name.

Your granddaughter is the best having you to dinner. I loved my grandmother a lot, and I wish she was still around. And any day at a botanical garden is a good day. hugs-Erika
