Hubby said it opened at 8:30, but the gate opened then, nothing else was open until 9:00! We wandered. There was evidence of action over night. A few empty beer cans and bottles.
We had our grandies last time we visited. They are traveling now, and it was much less exciting without them. It was, in fact, lovely and peaceful as the rides don't open until 11 a.m.
Hubby checked out a new car. No salesperson, a lot less hassle!
Feed the critters, but they bite!
This carver is always here. Hubby eyed his bench. We didn't even ask the price. We had the car in for service Friday, something about ball bearings. 'Nuff said!
The floral displays
It's a lot of hard work. In our drought, it also means a lot of hand watering! Trust me, I know!

We toured the displays, looking for craft ideas for the next Gramma Camp. I don't know when that will be!
Toilet paper rolls as paint brushes! Too bad they all looked the same. When I taught art in school, my art lessons ended up with variety!
"Create a person out of nuts and bolts," and 'Ferris Wheel from popsicle sticks.'
The 'melted crayon art design' category.
On the way home, I admired this farm. They have llamas. I popped in once. I just wanted to tell her how much I enjoyed her planters every time I passed her home.
We went to a garage sale and I picked up some things for a future Gramma Camp! The black material is sparkly, and has a sticky backing.
On the way to the sale, I spotted our local hawk. You'll have to trust me! It was a drive-by shooting. he is a frequent flyer, 'scuse the pun! So I have a lot of photos...
