Finally, a weekend with absolutely no baseball activities! A time to catch up on some much needed yard work..
And since it was such a beautiful Sunday, we headed over to Longwood Gardens to see the mums before they switch everything over to Christmas.
Come walk with me...
Oops...not the puppy, he's not allowed at Longwood...let's try that again...
My little guy found this heart for me...
A peek at some Christmas Holly...
Adorning the entrance to the conservatory...
The masterpiece....yes, that is all one plant...
I had to take a pictures of a few of the orchids as well...
Not sure what this was called, but loved the color...
A section of the outdoor train display...
Oh how I wish my Winter berries looked this full!
Loved the shades of browns...
Climbing the Chimes Tower...
Still a touch of color outside to see...
One of our favorite spots in summer when the water is flowing, but it is neat to see the structure of the stones as well...
One of the garden cats...such beautiful stripes...what's she watching?
These garden rats were disturbing her hunt...
Hope you enjoyed walking along...this could very well be the last of our warm weekends.
There has been little stitching. I am playing catch up on the monthly ornaments, so I am stitching more of the little sleds.
Hopefully, I will be able to soon show you the goodies from the last exchange I participated in. There are a couple people still waiting on their packages.
A quick reminder that if you place an order at the Strawberry Sampler, you have until the end of November, to put "Bramblewood" in the comments to receive 20% off ~ a little something for those who entered the giveaway.
Oh, and Panzer wanted to let everyone know, that he is still a puppy, turning 8mths this coming Thursday, even though he weighed in at 119.4 pounds. I thought we were getting a dog, not a small horse....
Today, a very sweet little neighbor boy, aged 5, brought me flowers and chocolate...so sweet..

thanks for sharing Longwood with us. I need to get back there. It is just in a good day trip for anyone in the Delaware Valley. Looks like a lovely family day.
Amazing photos, enjoyed everyone. Thank you for sharing.
Great pics - I especially love the heart your little guy found for you. :)
Such pretty pictures from Longwood... We only visited once, but it was at this exact time of year and we were just awed at the beauty of all the gardens. Sure wish I lived closer and could see them in all four seasons. I'll bet Christmas is even prettier!
Love the photo of your guys cleaning off the patio (love that stone patio, too--wow!!)... That is one thing we sure miss is the help of the guys outside...
Enjoy your week, Catherine :)
Oh those mums are amazing! Thanks for the pictures - it looks like it was a very enjoyable visit. Have a great week!
I enjoyed our walk. ;o) I know what you mean about cleaning up the yard - the leaves are taking over here.
Panzer is such a handsome fellow, he is going to be huge!
Love the little sled stitching, who is the designer on those?
Looks like a wonderful place, this Longwood Gardens. So pretty! Love seeing Panzer and your boys.
