Day Lilly Garden....

[Bird]

Jim, we visited Williamsburg a couple of times. My wife had a brother living there and working for William & Mary College for a few years. It's a very interesting place; however, the one thing I remember best is that I got what I'd consider the world's worst barbecued ribs there in what is supposedly one of the town's most popular restaurants. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Thanks for the link. Wife has Day Lilly's around the house. Whenever I start going around with grass and weed killer she is right behind me making sure I don't get near the ones by our drive entrance flower garden. When I found the ones on the site she has planted out there. I now know why she is concerned about me not killing them. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I believe she started with 4 plants. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Well, east coast barbecue is very different from what we are used to. I think the owner of Main Street Barbecue in Euless came from the east coast. After being out here a long time, his barbecue is something between the two and pretty darn good.

What I liked very much about Colonial Williamsburg was the visitor's center and the ability to select what level of detail you wanted in your tour by buying different ticket levels. I think it's a first-class self-directed tour and the transportation in and around the park is very good. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

We saw daylilies all over Williamsburg and deep-deep blue hydrangeas.

Yep, Frank, I don't think there's anywhere in Texas that you could find the kind of "barbecue" I got in Williamsburg. It was beef ribs and what made them so bad was simply the fact that they were liberally covered in a sauce that was so sweet it was terrible. I think the primary ingredient had to be some kind of syrup with a dash of ketchup.
