"OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY"

TODAY IS OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY. PLEASE STOP BY AND TELL THE LOVELY

SUSAN HELLO, AND VISIT ALL THE OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY BLOGS WHO

ARE PARTICIPATING. http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com

TODAY IS MY FIRST TIME TO JOIN OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY.

ON APRIL 30, 2009 I WENT TO OKC WITH MY HUSBAND FOR HIS DOCTORS'

APPOINTMENT.

ON THE WAY HOME I BEGGED HIM TO DRIVE ME THROUGH ONE OF

MY VERY FAVORITE TOWNS GUTHRIE, OKLAHOMA. GUTHRIE IS FULL

OF HISTORY AND TRADITION AND.......VICTORIANS.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE HOUSES WE FOUND. I AM SAVING SOME OF

THEM INCLUDING THE HOUSE I JUMPED OUT AT THE CURB TO MEET THE

LADY WHO OWNED THE HOUSE, FOR ANOTHER OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY.

THESE NEXT PICTURES ARE IN DOWN TOWN GUTHRIE AT THE

APOTHECARY GARDEN. IT HAD FINISHED BLOOMING THE EARLY

SPRING FLOWERS AND BEGINNING TO BLOOM WITH OTHERS.

ON TWO WALLS IN BEAUTIFUL PINK STONE ARE THE DONORS

WHO HELPED MAKE THE APOTHECARY GARDEN POSSIBLE. SOME JUST HAVE

THE NAME OF THE PERSON THEY HAVE DONATED IN MEMORY OF, AND

SOME HAVE THEIR NAME AND THEN A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN VERSE.

WHEN LEAVING THE GARDEN IF YOU TURN TO THE LEFT, THEY HAVE THE

PHARMACY MUSEUM. WE DIDN'T GO IN BUT WE LOOKED IN THE WINDOW.

BEING A NURSE I WOULD HAVE FOUND IT INTERESTING BUT MY HUSBAND,

NOT SO MUCH.....AND IN ALL FAIRNESS TO HIM, HE HAS A BAD BACK AND JUST

STANDING IS VERY, VERY HARD ON HIM.

ONLY THE GOLD COLORED FISH SHOWED UP, BUT THEY HAVE ONE LIKE OUR

PATCHES, THAT IS WHITE AND GOLD...(ONLY OUR PATCHES IS MUCH BIGGER..

OUR POND FISH ARE MY HUSBAND BABIES...THEY ARE 6 YEARS OLD.) THEY

HAD AN ALL WHITE FISH..VERY BEAUTIFUL....LOTS OF LITTLE ONES SWIMMING.

EVEN THOUGH IT IS ON A DOWNTOWN CORNER, THE GARDEN, ON THIS

DAY WAS SO PEACEFUL AND BIRDS WERE SINGING EVERY WHERE. YOU COULD

HEAR THE TRICLE OF THE FOUNTAIN, AND THE HUMID SWEAT DRIPPING

OFF ME.....BUT BEING IN THE GARDEN IS MY FAVORITE PLACE.

THIS BLANKET FLOWER DID NOT TURN OUT VERY WELL BUT THERE

ARE SOME THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE BLANKET FLOWER. THEY

HAVE SIGNS NEXT TO THE DIFFERENT FLOWER(BUT I WANT TO GO

BACK AT A LATER DATE AS I EITHER THE FLOWERS HAVE NOT COME UP

OR THEY WILL DO MORE PLANTINGS NOW THAT THE WEATHER IS NICE.

THE BLANKET FLOWER LEAVES WHEN CRUSHED CAN MAKE A TOPICAL

MEDICINE THAT HELPS GOUT AND THEY CAN MAKE A MEDICINE

THAT WORKS LIKE A DIURETIC. (please note, I don't know if this is true

or not...it is just what the sign said)
