Pretty Day

We went to the Oakland Rose Garden today. It's only about a mile from our house, but we rarely go -- I'm not sure why!



So beautiful! And the roses are nice, too!



I don't even remember seeing this pool before!



It was a very nice place for a short walk in the sunshine.

Wow Martha,

I can smell the scent of those roses wafting up through my computer screen. Really!

I'm glad! They were really lovely. I'll definitely go there more often now.

Where is the Oakland rose garden? 16 years in the bay area & I didn't even know there was one.

Hiya, Luana!

The Oakland Rose Garden is officially called the Morcom Rose Garden (although I've never heard it call that). It's on Jean Street -- near Janis -- in that area between Oakland Avenue and Grand Avenue.

See? I think you'd better move back here, as there are clearly many things left to learn about the region! I'll start looking for a house for you now....
