    The gardens are beautiful. We had hoped to visit there when we were in Vancouver for a few days but ran out of time.

    They are beautiful, but they look a bit heavy, more for early fall in our opinion.

    Wow. A million visitors is a lot. I enjoy seeing beautiful gardens. I’m under the weather but wanted to get a coffee post up for a sponsor. It’s not a great job, but it meets the deadline. Now, I’m going back to bed. See you on the flip side of this mess. Have a wonderful WW.

  7. Deborah – South San Francisco, CA – I am a Wise Woman who has been on a spiritual journey for many years. My wisdom was not gained through a higher education but through the University Of Life and all the insight, knowledge gained through the pain of trials and tribulations on the path of weeping to healing. Though I have come a long way, I am not done yet! I still have much wisdom to gain, more growth through pain, and the beauty of spirit that come by continual shedding of the old to receive the new! Sweet Blessings!
    Deborah says:

    That’s very lovely Sandee! 🙂 <3

    Looks like some lovely gardens. I like the asymmetry – it invites more wandering.

Living in the Denver metro area, we post about dogs, rescue and nature. So grab your favorite beverage and be prepared to howl along with our adventures. And don't forget to bark your 'pup-tacular' comment; we'd love to hear from you.

    Ahhhh…what a lovely space to wander around and enjoy nature’s beauty. Thanks for sharing a Calgon moment. Happy mid week.

  10. The OP Pack says:

    Simply exquisite!!! The gardens remind Mom of the beautiful park she would visit on Sundays with her mother and grandmother, Stanley Park in NOrthampton, MA. That takes a lot of dedicated gardeners to maintain.

    Hello my dearest, most dearest friend. I surely hope this goes through. So much to say, but I think I’ll do more in a email. I just wanted you to know the latest. I have Vertigo pretty bad and I’m starting therapy as of tomorrow. I think after all this therapy and a couple of other tests I have to take I was thinking to try to come back like maybe in September just in time for holidays… woo hoo! I love em’!!! Will you please help me get a brand new blog started? I don’t care where I just want to get a new one.
