Summertime walks through the Arboretum,

apples from our neighbors tree ( i just adore the little note ),

chalk drawings of kissing birds,

toy cars with flames + florescent orange windshields,

and rows and rows of hot pink begonias!

I love that arboretum sign. I noticed they changed out the black ones that used to be near the entrance. Too bad, they were so pretty.
