KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE MY BLOW DRYER RUN!

Ahhhhhhh!

They are calling for some snow on Sunday morning......the calendar will say March 27, what's a girl to do?

Go to Longwood Gardens of course and see the orchid exhibit! Warning picture heavy post.












This is the "living wall"! The entire hallway is planted and it is beautiful. The doors to the left are bathrooms and they are "green" using solar. This is a must see.












This is a beautiful place to visit, people come from all over the world to see some of the most speectacular displays you will ever see. The old buildings and water fountains add to the charm and beauty of the place. If you are ever anywhere near Philadelphia you must make a stop here, you will not be disappointed and the inspiration is endless.......and there is a volunteer quilt committee who have a quilt displayed for your enjoyment.

All of us agreed we were much more peaceful and less stressed when we left, nature will do that to you!

  10. Hi Kelly, Thanks for the great shots of Longwood Gardens. Myself and 4 quilting friends are visiting from Australia and will be spending a week in PA (early May) and LG is on our list of things to do. I know we won't be disappointed.
