Table arrangement with flowers from the garden - alas, only a few Lilies of the Valley are in bloom but the tulips and Helleborus were magnificient
Cake cutting - it was so....yummy
Guy making a speech/toast to Mr and Mrs Newman - what a happy evening , the laptop showed pictures of their wedding at Cibolo Creek on March 26
Scott and Leslie with some guests - drinks and appetisers of lamb phyllo pastries, goat cheese with sundried tomatoes, green tomatillo salsa with guacomole on the patio followed dinner of chicken satay, spicy crab cakes, sauteed fresh shitake and oyster mushroom, asparagus , pasta with walnuts and cognac.
Wedding cake I made for Newmans' party at home-a tres leches ( three milk) cake filled with whipped cream and raspberries, decorated with white azaleas
I love this view from the kitchen window - the birds enjoy playing in the birdbath and perching on the espalier
These white tulips were humongous - the flowers measured 3-4"
more pictures of double tulips and aquilegia -I had planted 200 bulbs last Fall !!
some very happy goldfish a-swimming...under the bridge that Guy built
These double tulips when in full bloom look like peonies
apple espalier in full bloom -looks like we will have a bounty of Golden Delicious this summer
The garden in May with the apple espalier in the backgroundl
