Took a little walk in the wind

Standard

Well I was up in air as to what to do today as it was a bit breezy, but warm. Longwood Gardens is having their orchid displays until the end of March, so I decided to go for walk and some photo taking. I renewed my membership for the year which went up $5, but they also give you two free tickets for your guests. It pays for itself after about four times.

Here are some of my favorite shots:

Take it from the Longwood gardeners-how to prune a rose bush-many only had one or two main stems!

I’ve been taking Olive leaf capsules for my blood pressure (think it is helping-thanks Dr. Oz). Here is an Olive tree

  1. All of the flowers are absolutely amazing and I’m really loving the blue poppies, never seen those before! I’m so envious that you’re within walking distance of Longwood Gardens, I’d be there every day:-) It was quite breezy over here too and we had rain, now it’s back to freezing temps. Mother Nature just can’t seem to make up her mind around here!! Hope your Friday is a good one:-) xoxo
