On Monday, 7/24, we left Massachusetts and drove in rain almost the whole way to Cheshire, NH to visit with Ray and Karen Cowan (formerly Hitchhiker owners) whom we have known for about 5 years. We also spent a few days with them back in Feb in Mesa, AZ.
Monday night we had fish at a local restaurant, and, on Tuesday, drove up to Franklin, NH to go thru Tarbin Gardens.
It advertises itself as: "New Hampshire's destination for nature lovers, bird and butterfly watchers, photographers, artists, and garden enthusiasts. It features a collection of nearly a thousand different plants in gardens from sun to shade, formal to woodland with a large variety of lilies, hostas, astilbes (?), flowering trees and shrubs."
It's all of that and more! We talked with the owner and he took us around a portion of the area - talk about a true botanist!!!
This may be overload, but here are 'some' pictures that Judy took.
This parrot talked and would say: "Whose the baby?"
This one didn't have much to say.
From there we found the birthplace of Daniel Webster.
On Wednesday we left and made our way to Bar Harbor, ME.
