shades of green - olbrich

We were able to spend a little time indoors at Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison this weekend. And since winter is decidedly here, the warm temperature and tropical plants were most welcome. I love the incredible patterns and details that these beauties present.

flowerful friday - flashback to summer

I think for those of us who love to garden, in the off season months we dream of next year's blooms and remember last year's beauties. I looked through my garden and flower photos from this past summer and came across this June bouquet that I particularly loved. 

Nothing like some summer colors to cheer up a grey day!

through his eyes - the joy of christmastime

There is nothing quite like seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child. It's pure magic! I love seeing the joy on my son's face - his eyes twinkling with excitement. It's made Christmastime incredible for me too.
