While 'better half' was at convention, spouses enjoyed a trip to Houmas House, a plantation south of Baton Rouge on Old River Road...

Because I missed the bus and had to be 'transported' via a hotel van, I missed the tour of the home; however, really enjoyed the gardens. 

I am posting beautiful garden pictures for your viewing enjoyment...

Kiss enough of these and you will find your prince...huh?  Whatever...I love this bit of whimsy...

Ashamed of your vegetable garden yet?  How about your yard?  Yeah, me too...

Lunch was served...it was pretty much delicious...served on Houmas engraved plates...

I'll leave you with this beautiful view of the fountain...notice the fabulous clouds...
