| This young girl set up a Lemonade Stand. It was a hot day, and we purchased a glass. |
From 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., we tour nine personal gardens. 3 Gardens were on Sherman St., 2 on Gordon Dr, 1 on Jackson St., and 1 on Cherry Street. One on Line St. and one on Oak St. There was someone at each location to greet us and tell us about their gardens.

| This garden was like having a forest in your backyard. There was a Bird Feeder, a greenhouse, walkways, and more. |
 |
| There was a story about how this statue came to be in this garden, but I don't remember it. |
After the Garden tour, we enjoyed a lovely lunch at Mellow Mushroom in Decatur. We ordered a small Maui Wowie on Stone Ground Crust Pizza. It was delicious.
