Oregon Gardens, Silverton Oregon









The Hobbits house


We have these trees in our neighborhood and they smell amazing. I learned though they are called Peanut Butter Trees, because if you rub the leaves they smell like peanut butter.
A mutant something kind of tree that only grows leaves and no branches.

Todays adventure was to The Oregon Gardens in Silverton Oregon (about an hour from Portland). It was a crisp and sunny fall day, and the place was gorgeous. The grounds were beautiful, quiet and relaxing (going mid week when school is in session made for few people-a bonus for me since I hate crowds). They had a children's garden which is where the tree house, sand box, etc. were. The only down side to the day was minutes after arriving Solari got stung by a bee, just under her eye. She was a trooper though, and whenever I looked at it or asked how she was she would cheerfully state "its getting all better."
