Aunt Beth's Garden & Greenhouse

16 years ago - #family#garden#Yuba City

On recent trip to Yuba City, CA, I took some time to take photos of Aunt Beth's garden and greenhouse. I should say - take photos of a small fraction of her garden and greenhouse. There are lots of vegetables, herbs, and fruit trees there - unfortunately, I was there a bit early in the season before the plants had a chance to get going. I was still able to get some good shots.

The orchid greenhouse is amazing. Aunt Beth told me that there was very little in bloom this time of year. What I saw was still enough to amaze me. It seemed that every time I turned around, there was another orchid bloom that I had missed. Each one was more strange and wonderful than the last.

I have no idea what kind any of these are, so they are all labeled generically.

A Trip to Yuba City for Kellie & Paul's Wedding
In June 2008, Mom, Dad, Sis, Lorenz, and little old me rendezvoused in Yuba City. The event that brought us there was the wedding of my cousin, Kellie Everett (Parke's daughter). It gave us a chance to visit Buck's Lake, where Parke has a cabin that's been in the family for decades, hang out in Yuba City, visit Uncle Scott, and have a good ole Everett time. You will notice that Aunt Catherine is in more than her fair share of photos. That's because she's a ham. Plus, she's photogenic.

Sis and I got a chance to visit Uncle Scott (from my father's side) and his wife, Grace, while we were there. This is only the second time I've seen him in the past ten years.
