Anderson's Japanese Garden


Even though Rockford isn't a tourist town and there isn't much to do except shop there is one place that us Rockfordians can take pride in having, Anderson's Garden. Anderson's Garden is owned by this couple whose house can be seen while touring the Garden. This garden is based on a Japanese garden which is filled with all kinds of plants, waterfalls, ponds and fountains. Not to mention the really cool and unique bridges you get to walk over and the rocks you get to walk on. Today Karyn, Mel and I decided to go there and find our inner peace. Ha... I say that because the guy that we ran into (an employee) made us sit and exmine the trees and told us that people should come to bring harmony into relationships. I have to say I feel so much closer to Karyn and Mel. Wouldn't you agree girls? I had to bring some humor into this blog. Other than that weird moment we had a fun time. It was nice as friends to be able to walk around and enjoy our fellowship with each other. These pictures were taken by Karyn and I have to say, Miss Karyn, pretty impressive. This is one place in Rockford that everyone should make time to visit. I have to say for $5 its not a bad pric

I agree completely: it was a relaxing afternoon and my photo skills have immensely improved, you're right! But "Miss Karyn", what is that? :-)

I have just discovered this blog today, Barb! I've enjoyed it. I love to get a look into the lives of our young adults this way.
