With all the work Margaret has done, the back garden is looking beautiful and colorful; here’s views I took this morning …

Oakland Car Stroll
“Long ago” Winter Garden had a downtown car show every few months; the last event was just before covid hit in January 2020 and with downtown still with lots of outdoor seating rather than parking spaces, there’s no longer space for that type of car show.
There have been some car shows in Hamlin but they’re not really the same (mostly more modern cars in a parking lot); there’s also a regular car show at the Margaritaville Resort on US 192 but it’s far enough that we’ve only been twice.
But today we had a nearby “car stroll under the oaks” in Oakland sponsored by Shannon Till; the cars were parked along the West Orange Trail and on the grass (there’s not a lot of space in Oakland!) and we enjoyed our “stroll” …
A “classic car wash”
After more than 3,000 miles driving to Oklahoma and Kansas, including “close encounters” with Buffalo, my bug-rain-dirt coated car really needed a wash! It’s already quite hot to be washing my X3 so I visited nearby Classic Car Wash and purchased one of their higher price services – it began with a normal “spray and brushes” automatic car wash but then as many as five people descended on the car cleaning inside and out, very thoroughly! My X3 is now shiny and happy 🙂
