From the First Mate's Photo Album... Master Gardeners

'

Photos were taken at the gardens of the Southwestern Indiana Master Gardener Association grounds just south of the Indiana State Hospital and next to (east of) the Buffalo Trace Boy Scouts headquarters off of the Lloyd Expressway. The first photo reminds me of a great calendar photo!

At its entrance is this logo sign below. [Click on photos to get a larger image]
This is the front of the log cabin on the grounds that can be seen from the highway. Yesterday the "Monument Monday" showed the gazebo that is here, as well.

These Verbena "Homestead Purple" flowers send out a super great fragrance that really adds to the entire beautiful gardens. These photos only represents a "teaser" of what is here! I am very much impressed with this group of Master Gardeners!!! Great job, we will visit again and again!

This very nice Veterans Memorial is located on the grounds of the Evansville State Hospital that Becky & I discovered while walking in the park area (a great place for walkers who need the exercise). Through the archway is a dock that goes out over the lake (it can be seen by clicking on the photo to get a larger image). This area seems to always attract people to it.

Through the generosity of Pearl Morris this memorial is to honor the armed forces veterans who receive care at this state hospital.
Below is the dedication plaque of the Veterans Memorial on 03 September 1982.
This plaque is to recognize those who serve the hospitalized Veterans.

Happy Easter!

The Tri-State Genealogical Society wishes everyone a very Happy Easter, today!

The photo below is a giant Easter Bunny at Washington Square Mall where Becky & I have been taking our 45-minute walks. Becky is standing in front of this big stuffed rabbit.

Remember that TSGS will meet at Sirloin Stockade on Tuesday night instead of Willard Library for our Annual Dinner Meeting. It is a buffet style restaurant, so we suggest for everyone to arrive no later than 6PM with the informal brief meeting beginning at 7 followed shortly with our guest speaker Terry Hughes.
