Garden Walking at the Arboretum and More

 It's been a couple of weeks since we can get out and walk - this morning the Arboretum is having a turn.  We haven't been here since the beginning of July and I am always shocked at how much is changes in such a small amount of time.  The plants have REALLY grown.  It's still early morning - so some fun pics can happen.


Just look how tall the plants behind the benches are.  Wow.


Beautiful coleus.


Banana trees - where did they come from?



Mister wanders off while I wait for the area under the crepe myrtles to clear, so I can take a picture.


Then he catches me waiting - kind of patiently.


Ahhh - there it is.


Water features - 


Cool web - or something.


There are still a few gorgeous  roses about.


Rowers on the lake.


Hibiscus and coleus together.


After our walk - Mister has located a market to check out.


I find a booth that interested me a great deal.  I'll be placing an online order for this bundle, I think.


The day is moving along - perhaps we should eat something and why not donuts?  Jaram's Artisan Donuts is new to us and relatively close by.


There are a ton of regular donuts in this shop, but there are some unique ones as well.  Smore's anyone?


Bacon/Maple, fruit delights, and some fun ones for the kiddos.


Also - Cronuts.  Apparently a cross between a donut and a croissant.  Another customer tells us they are a "must try."  There are not many left, so we believe him.


Our little bundle of joy - yep, I went for the peanut butter cup on chocolate.  If I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go happy.  YES - the cronuts are to die for.


So was my donut.


From here - it's off to Vector's for some actual food - lunch is pizza.  Yum.
