Our Fragrant Hoya Carnosa Wax Plant in Metal Ring

 Used to keep lots of planters on the window sills...

A favorite was this oval Delft white planter with a Hoya, that I guided around a metal ring.

Also in our kitchen bay window area I did keep two Hoya plants on such a metal ring.

Hand crocheted table cloth by me.

Rotan set, we gifted to my younger sister Gerd, when we moved back from Italy to the USA.

She could use it well in her apartment.

The wool Moroccan rug was a wedding gift from our Swiss mushroom friends. 

Also here you see such a Hoya in a ring on the windowsill in our veranda.

Guess, having a windowsill is typically Dutch!

Dinner with Friends before Driving to 7th North American Mushroom Conference in New Orleans

 

On March 4, 1988 we had dinner at our home for our closest friends, informing them that Campbell Soup forced us to move to Pennsylvania. 

Such a SAD tiding! 

We loved Dublin, Georgia and our friends and home and garden...

Since we would be leaving next day for a long drive to New Orleans, I used French paper lace placemats.

Delft white picture frames for each place setting with our spring flowers.

Setting in our dining room...

Using my Dutch Gero Zilmeta 528 Menuet cutlery.

You also see my Delft white swan, as a napkin holder...

Caring for our Squirrels while at 7th North American Mushroom Conference in New Orleans

On Thursday, March 3 of 1988, we both had put out the entire box with pecan nuts, on our patio.

This was meant to feed our 'tamed' squirrels that would be without us for a while, while we drove to New Orleans for attending the 7th North American Mushroom Conference, see link below post.

On February 19, we did purchase these Pecans at the Rotary Club's auction.

So we put the box on the patio, under the roofed area.

Right away our furry friends showed up!

Ah, you got us pecans...?

We thought that they each day would get some to EAT!

Nope, they went to the bottom of that box, the very day we put them out!

They buried them in our yard!

All tuckered out, on the tiles of our patio...

We were hoping that they would find all their burial spots!
