Lin and Frank's Garden

My folks, Robin and I spent a magical afternoon at the home of our friends Lin and Frank. Apart from a succulent meal of homemade everything (hummus and guacamole with crackers, open-faced sandwiches of homemade mayo, special crispy fried onion, cheese etc., on long slices on pumpkin-seed bread, crisp green salad with Lin's poppyseed dressing, warm from the oven butter tarts) we also had our coffee in the shade of their beautiful trees in their garden. Along with a magical path under the pine tree (watch out for the bear), there is an extensive collection of hostas,
including a miniature variety. An exceptional day, warmed by the company of wonderful friends and family; a special moment when everything was perfect (and delicious).
