We visited the Margaret C. Ferguson Greenhouses at Wellesley College just to see something interesting in our own backyard. 

My sweetie walked home in the freezing rain/snow with a gorgeous bouquet of early Valentines Day roses, and they look especially beautiful with the rain drops 🙂

Most of Montreal’s Botanical Gardens were under a few inches of snow, but their greenhouses were open, and we had a magical afternoon wandering through the various fairy tale lands with gorgeous colors, textures, sounds and smells.

I see lots of really pretty flowers on my walks to and from work.

A colleague sent me flowers that match my office beautifully!!

I finally got the chance to pop over to the Gardner Museum since they started allowing visitors to go inside the greenhouse, not just look in through the glass corridor. It was such a wonderful treat to smell the flowers and get right up close to see all of the beautiful details.

Incredible colors at an awesome grocery store

I had a wonderful morning at the Gardner Museum attending a training session for the brand new gorgeous exhibit Ornament and Illusion: Carlo Crivelli of Venice, and I got to take some fun close-ups of beautiful details in the exhibit, and in the courtyard.

So many beautiful flowers at the Greenleaf Inn at Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

The tiger lilies looked amazing in the Gardner Museum’s Monks Garden at the first Neighborhood Nights of Summer 2015

The tiger lilies bloomed briefly and beautifully just outside our front door

When we stayed at the Sea Crest Beach Hotel in May 2013, we ‘discovered’ a lovely church right near lots of cute shops and restaurants in Falmouth. Before dinner, we stopped by to visit this little gem again. We discovered that they recently added a labyrinth … yet another copy of the famous labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral, so of course I had to walk the labyrinth. It’s a bit smaller in scale than the one I walked just one week ago on the Greenway, but it was lovely and pleasant. We visited the church’s gorgeous little garden as the sun continued to set, then we settled in for a delicious dinner!

My sweetie got me lovely flowers for my birthday tomorrow!
