Random...

I looked out the kitchen window yesterday and spotted this unusual visitor in the tree!!

 
A quick Google search told me it was a Peregrine Falcon. Wow! He was very much on the look out for a meal or snack.

 
He left when he decided the wait isn't worth it.

 
                                                                                                   
 
A few Saturdays ago Lin and I took the two youngest and headed for Longwood Gardens. It's always a mood brightener for me to go there when the weather is gray and the winter drags on. Just to smell the soil and the fresh blooming flowers, not to mention the Grapefruit Trees that were blooming! Awesome! Usually makes me feel like I might be able make it till Spring really gets here.
 
 
 Makes me want to grab a book and a blanket and bask and read :)
 
Love the color and the sunshine! :)

 
And these make me feel like I could maybe hold a bit of sunshine in my hand! The smell was wonderful!

Last but not least.
 
I love this house! It's huge. And old. And I would love to live in it! It is the home of the man that planned and planted Longwood Gardens. And this is the house in the country that he would take his guests for weekends with his family. Don't you just love it?!
 
♥Blessings!♥
