Okay it’s a gorgeous Sunday afternoon,what to do? How about a trip to the Dallas Arboretum?  It is located on Garland on the east side of White Rock Lake.  It consists of 33 well manicured gardened acres. Today May 4 was in the low 70s, just perfect for taking in the sites so here we go.

This ‘sculpture’ is of the Texas Star, click on the photo to enlarge.

It would not be an exhibit without some Texas cattle, right?

140 yeas ago the Connestoga, today the Suburban. There is also a display of pioneer homes including one made of sod, hey, if Al Gore really wanted a low carbon footprint, and think of all the oil based paint he would save!

And then there are the flowers, everywhere.  A truly gorgeous ‘back yard’!
