Afternoon tea at Duke Gardens

On a sunny afternoon last week we met up with Dad & Mom and some grad students from Indonesia for teatime at Duke Gardens - celebrating the end of the school year! We hung out in one of the newer sections of the garden, the White Garden, with its pond (and 11 ducklings), terrace, and well-coordinated flowers and bushes (all white of course). So beautiful! It was too sunny to get great pictures of the plants, but Jim took some of the group. Mom brought thermoses of tea and the students contributed some Indonesian food, like gado gado (veggie salad with peanut dressing) and fried veggie patties and tofu and lentil chips. Even Timo enjoyed chomping on the veggies. So much to enjoy and explore in these gardens. Fun times!!

Timo got passed around a bit - and was quite content.
