I Have Chosen A Date!

Finally, I decided to just pick a

date for our Longwood Blogger Meet.

I do hope I didn't choose poorly.

We will meet on Saturday, June 12th.

The official time will be from 9am - Noon.

Some may wish to go for lunch after this

but we can take it as it comes.

If you are coming I would like to know

so that we don't head into the gardens

without you. It is a very large garden...

more than 1,000 acres, so it could be a

challenge to find us if we don't meet first.

I'll also need to give you our meeting place.

Last time we didn't do this and there was a

bit of guessing about who we were looking for.

Funny, but avoidable.
Just send me an email at
beckypfa (@) yahoo (dot) com.

By the way...husbands and children are
very welcome to join us.
One of the facts about the history
of Longwood is that Mr. Pierre DuPont was overjoyed
to see children playing and enjoying his gardens.
I always think of that when I see little ones with
great big eyes taking it all in.

Now, would you like to see the Wisteria Garden?

It was amazing. I nearly choked with excitement

when I saw it. Literally!

We were looking down over this

and I was chatting

happily away with Mom and Chelsea.

Then I noticed the wisteria off to my left.

I inhaled and promptly coughed and coughed.

When Mikey looked at these pictures he was very pleased.

Turns out that last summer during his internship he spent

days in here pruning. This is the result of his labor.

Beautiful full Wisteria blooms.

This is why we love gardening so.

Hard work results in amazing vistas.

While the Wisteria will be done,

there will be lots of roses and 

many other treats for the eyes.

I do hope you will be able to join us on

the 12th of June!
