Spring Preview

I don't think there is any place more glorious to visit in the dead of Pennsylvania winter than Longwood Gardens. The warm tropical air and thick, heavy scent of flowers in bloom overwhelms the senses as you cross the threshold from bitter winter to brilliant, blooming spring. It's so stunning, so surprising, so beautiful it brings tears to the eyes.

And so we treated ourselves today to a long, lovely stroll through the vast indoor gardens. Even Lily enjoyed herself, taking in the colorful blooms and the bright sunlight that played on lush foliage.


Ah, paradise!


You lookin' at me?
