In my garden, wading through the pond Rest and sing: "Lover ooh..."

 We had a long weekend, and it was a VERY long weekend.

Saturday was for selfies and all my chores.

Sunday was a VERY big day:

  

My mother and I went to Golden Gate Park for Claude the Albino Alligator's Celebration of Life, and stopped at the Japanese Tea Garden beforehand.

We then had snacks and tea (of course) at the tea house:

It was a serene and quiet morning. Everything in the garden was still wet, so walking around was a bit precarious.

I was NOT prepared for this. 😭💔

Goodbye, sweet Claude. We will love and miss you, always.
