For the final day of our Fall Break Road Trip to Kansas City we ventured about 30 miles east of Kansas City to visit Powell Gardens. It was beautiful and I expected that but what I didn’t expect was the sense of humor. I love a sense of humor.
For example, have you ever really seen a Flower Bed? Not till now I expect.
Or how about some Fall Fun?
Or a Scarey Crow? I don’t really get along with people who don’t have a sense of humor. Or people who don’t like dogs or critters in general, or who don’t like art or flowers, or who don’t believe in something bigger than themselves! Just saying. I’m quite the bigot aren’t I. I don’t feel bad about it.
I loved their pumpkin carvings!
And this’ll keep those people out of the beds, surely? It kept me out I’ll tell you.
There is a simply beautiful little chapel on the grounds.
And all sorts of places to sit down and rest. I am at a place where I need rest. Gardens do that for me. (Not Gardening Sweetie, gardens!)
My road trip companions. I’d go with them anywhere.
You have to love gardens with mirrors. How do you like my hat?
Such a fun, delightful post! Thank you for the smiles to begin a new week! you do have a wonderful sense of humor!! Have a great week! Enjoy — and I’m sure you will!!
I like your hat and love the flower bed.
What fun to wander around gardens with a sense of humour. This is an idea that should be encouraged world-wide.
Love your hat – it definitely suits you.
What fun.
wow, what a great place.
that shot of you in the mirror is wild – messes with your eyes. neat! ( :
What a fun place! I have seen a couple of flower beds and they are fun. I would NOT step into the snake habitat! Love the little chapel and your hat.
Have a great week!
What a fun place. Great pic of your traveling companions….and of course the mirror pic of you and your hat is fabulous.
Nice hat.
The chapel is a Fay Jones design. It is very similar to others that he designed in Arkansas and Mississippi. The entire grounds look like someplace that one could spend the day enjoying.
Love your hat ! What a fun and creative place indeed! Wonderful photos ~ carol ^_^

Great post. Love the different take on flower beds and fall.
Great post Yogi, keeps me smiling all the way through.

I love the imagination of the people who keep these gardens. The hat looks good on you.
