It was a delightful day, in spite of the rain, and yes, I will be making that salad at home very soon!<br /><br />Kylee - The whole trip was so much fun and the gardens were so lovely that the weather was just a passing nuisance. I don't think I'm going to GWA -- seems too much on my plate right now, though I'd love to see everyone and see what that's all about, too.<br /><br />Layanee - I prefered the heat! And we got a few storms through here last night and today, too. .65 inches. A welcome drink in the middle of summer.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-83813794254269141322010-07-23T16:17:23.747-05:002010-07-23T16:17:23.747-05:00I preferred the rain to the humid heat and your pi...I preferred the rain to the humid heat and your pictures do look charming.

It's never enough though and I can't believe I didn't get a picture with you! Are you going to #GWA in Dallas?Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-65839575887332118532010-07-21T15:50:04.659-05:002010-07-21T15:50:04.659-05:00What a beautiful setting that was Diana, you have ...What a beautiful setting that was Diana, you have captured the mood and the zen very well. I loved seeing the Asian themes in other gardens, but to be honest, I thought you were going to post about the bloggers with their multi color parade of umbrellas. We are a picture taking group, rain or shine. As for MMD's comment, that is when you use the point and shoot, my friend! Thanks for taking this lovely shot of us at lunch, and thanks too for the linkage! Wasn't that food terrific? :-)<br />Frances<br />blogger is not letting me use open ID today. naughty bloggerFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-52603361190475993882010-07-21T10:59:06.663-05:002010-07-21T10:59:06.663-05:00The rain really did add to the atmosphere in the J...The rain really did add to the atmosphere in the Japanese garden.
