At Longwood Gardens

 Sometimes bringing the outdoors inside

can be stunning.  

I just don't think I would be up to the 

challenge of keeping this living wall

green.

I remember one day that Mikey was working

here and it was raining non-stop.

He was assigned to work on this wall.

He spent the entire day picking any leaf 

or plant that was not green from this wall.

Know that this happens all of the time here.

Even as Chelsea and I were visiting there was 

a man working on the wall.

A lot of work, for sure, but, 

the results are definitely worth it.

It is fascinating!

 Another project that kept Mikey busy

in his final weeks as a Seasonal Employee 

this year was sorting pine cones.

We would ask him day after day what he

had done that day and his answer remained

the same.

"I sorted pine cones."

We would ask him what he meant.

Sorted them by size and shape

for some projects.

It was fun to get to see the end result 

of some of the pine cones....

There were several of these 

wreath decorations.

See the gold?

Pine.cones!

 I loved the soft pinks and whites

behind Chelsea here.

While much of the color theme

seems to be red and white this

soft palette was a nice contrast.

So soon the evidence of Autumn will be gone.

I was happy to capture this cheerful leaf that 

decorated our path.

A little bit of fun 

in the children's garden.

 One who is leaving childhood...

and entering the world of adulthood.

May she mature....but never grow out of 

her youthful spirit.

 It was a cold morning and so we were

anticipating many shivers as we took

photos.

Thankfully, the sun was warm and we

were quite comfortable.

It was fun.

 See the stitches?

They are gone as of today.

Yay!

What a very enjoyable day!

Thanks for letting me share it with you.
