Longwood Gardens...

- as you know, we are big fans of the gardens -

Our trip last week was to see the Illuminated Fountain Performance,

but we went early enough to stroll around and to see the Conservatory this time of year.
Everything was bright and beautiful.

This is the view walking in to the Conservatory,

everything is green and lush.

Gorgeous peach colored flower, unknown to me.

On this day, the Hibiscus stole the show...

There were several Bonsai Trees in full bloom,
the first two are Azaleas.

The Bell Tower was chiming...it is both glorious to the ears and eyes.

These Luminaries were on display in an open grass area in the gardens.
We did not get back to see them lit, after the fountain show, 
we were anxious to start the trip home.
Longwood Gardens is a two hour drive for us, we will see them next time we visit!

Longwood Gardens is 1,083 acres outdoors and the Conservatory is 4 acres.
The gardens are handicapped accessible,
and provide scooters for those who need extra assistance.
A wonderful feature, as I would never be able to enjoy this spectacular place otherwise.

Yarn Along

It's been a busy knitting week...

I only knit at night but this has been a very productive stretch.


I am still working on the blue 
Chevron Baby Blanket
I started this blanket on June 6th and I have passed the half way point.
This pattern is free on Ravelry, 
I am working with Berroco Vintage Yarn, which I love knitting with.


I also started a new scarf this week for a friend who lives in Arizona.

This scarf is lightweight, more decorative, and certainly not for keeping your neck warm.

The Gallatin Scarf
I am using yarn by Backyard Fiberworks 


Here's a close-up of the lace work...
So far, so good...I can't make a mistake knitting this pattern...

I would have no idea how to fix it!
