St. Louis Weekend

Mike & I visited my brother, Jim and sister-in-law, Rosemary in St. Louis this weekend.  We went to the Missouri Botanical Gardens Saturday and it was a beautiful day.  The cherry trees, daffodils, magnolias, and many more plants were in full blossom! 










 There was this really cool blown glass sculpture hanging in the foyer. 


Once we got back home, the rain storms came blasting down.  Rosemary and I were caught at the
nursery, luckily we were inside.  We waited the storm out then did some errands to some of my favorite places around their neighborhood.  The Herbarium (www.herbariasoap.com) to get some essential oils and soap, Sweet Art (sweetartstl.com/index2.phpto) get a delicious cupcake and cookies, Volpi to get some pepperoni and sausage for homemade pizza for dinner.

Here's what dinner looked like.  It was so Yummy!!!


On Sunday we went to church and had lunch at Rooster. http://roosterstl.com/.  Very delicious too!
We checked out the garden before leaving and said goodbye to 'the girls' aka the chickens.



Jim's handiwork.  One of his butterfly & bee boxes.
