Roses at Planting Fields Arboretum Tuesday morning I had a lovely time visiting Planting Fields Arboretum with my Mom. We enjoyed discovering some of the beautiful gardens that had reached full bloom. It was a beautiful sunny day and we enjoyed exploring the grounds and greenhouses together. Here is what I was thankful for: I am thankful to share such a beautiful  morning walk with my Mom. My mom is an avid gardener and loves planting flowers and tending her garden. I was thankful to all the volunteers at Planting Fields who enjoy tending the beautiful gardens and greenhouses there. We enjoyed seeing huge old trees and fields of green. I was thankful to take so many beautiful pictures of flowers, orchids,cactus, and ferns in the greenhouse. I will enjoy sharing some of these photos on sharing thanks in the next few weeks. I am thankful to be able to sleep in today. It was a rainy day and it felt good to be able to sneak back under the covers and relax.  I invite you to share

Kids climbing trees with spotters at the Arbor Day Festival Ahhh to be 10 again. I enjoyed watching these courageous kids climbing this tall tree and have the experience of being among the high branches. It was a gorgeous Sunday at the Arbor Festival at Planting Fields Arboretum. I was so so happy to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Here is what I was thankful for! I was thankful to see families enjoy this beautiful state park. The magnolia trees were beautiful shades of pink and purples. I was thankful to see 5 happy wedding couples getting there wedding pictures taken at planting fields. I was thankful to see kids running around the great lawns and enjoying the simple joys of nature. I was thankful to see so many people going home with small tree saplings to plant. I invite you to share a small joy of nature that you are thankful for!
