Baby Dianne and Mom mom Ruth, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

My grandmother Ruth was also my second mom who helped raise her 4 grandkids. She gave up her freedom to travel and maybe live with her sister in Florida to help my mom out. ‘Mom-mom’ passed away in 2000 at almost the age of 97! Of course I didn’t take this photo as I am in it! I have a great one of her that I took when my son Sean was christened, but I gave it to my mom-need to scan it one of these days.

A couple taking a walk along a snowy path, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.
I really like the prospective in this photo. Brian and I were at the Brandywine River Museum for the tribute to Andrew Wyeth back in January-thus the snow. It was a cold day and I was surprised to see this couple walking along the river. It’s a neat place to walk when it’s nice, but they braved the cold to take a look at the swift currents of the river.

This almost century old conservatory shelters many varieties of gorgeous plants, which include orchids, from the elements outside, whether it is heat or cold. There is a maze of different rooms from a desert room to an bonsai room. There’s always something new to see each time I go, which is frequently.

Longwood’s Conservatory is one of the world’s great greenhouse structures. It shelters 20 indoor gardens and 5,500 types of plants. The Conservatory was built in 1919 and has been periodically expanded and renovated. At present, there are 195,668 square feet—or 4.5 acres—of covered display, production, and research greenhouses.

Yesterday, I bought my first trunk load of flowers. I had saved a bunch of money from eBay sales. Loews was having a buy one get one free on 6″ pots and had a few other good sales. I bought most of my plants at a local nursery because you get a lot for the price. Here I am happy to be in gardener mode again-

This was a grand home up in the town of Kennett Square, PA that I always admired. I think it was for sale when I took this photo. The town bought it and made it a borough building. Love all the triangle shapes above the windows and on porch roof. I’m glad it was saved and restored. I must go inside someday!
