Neighbourhood get-together
Cuckoo!
Today everybody on the street was invited to one of our neighbour's for a "little" BBQ!
Apparently a yearly event but a first timer for us.
A little hint of the house from the front yard ...
With their own little rose garden including a water fountain imported from France.
So peaceful and so beautiful you just wanted to skip the party and bring your cup of tea and sit down on one of the benches just to relax, smell all the flowers and just be...
Exactly like Bella did...
But on the other hand we are glad we did not skip it:)
American people are good with parties like this as it is a part of their culture.
As a foreigner it is a very positive experience and a good way to meet new people.
And to eat good food 😜
A backyard big as a my hometown acted as the perfect setting for this festive afternoon.
There was something for every age...
On every level...
For every taste...
And for every interest.
I loved to explore their garden and every "room" in it.
It was full of secret spots and places where you easily could find some peace.
Just to sit on the steps and overlook the scenery was good enough.
Despite the threatening fall the garden was in full bloom and spread some extra warmth to our hearts and minds.
Some of us felt so warm they needed to cool down in the pool.
Of course there are many ways of doing it...
And me I always have this thing for benches.
Think of how many stories they must have listened to and so many friends it has carried.
This afternoon this particular one was constantly filled with chatting girls, guarding parents who was watching their kids in the pool and now and then just a place to put handbags or towels on.
After a BBQ in the garden at my neighbour's a Sunday afternoon I feel like a bench too.
Full of impressions, stories and faces.
And hopefully some new friends:))
