Further Adventures in Domesticity
I actually had the whole week off after the Montreal trip off. (We were supposed to both have it off, until the Great Appendix Caper in February forced the BF to have to give some time back.) I have been slow in posting because our internet has been on the fritz for

The World of Laura Ingalls Wilder – Marta McDowell
I distinctly remember my mother reading the Little House books to my sister and me before bed, over a longish period of time, as we got them from the library. It was before fourth grade, because it was in our original Portland house. There are only a few books I remember from that bedtime reading

Jardin Botanique Montreal – Indoor Gardens
The botanic garden also has a fantastic conservatory, which just kept going, and going, and going. There was an orchid room, and a fern room, and a begonia room, and a Spanish hacienda garden, and a bonsai room. And more. I really enjoyed our visit there, and absolutely must go back, because

Actual picture date: 6/15/17. These pictures were taken on the side of route 302, somewhere on the more eastern side of Vermont. Because we have apparently become those people that will pull over to take pictures. (Though only when there’s really no traffic. We do have some standards.)

Governor’s Garden at the Chateau Ramezay – Montreal, QC
This garden was a really cool find – it’s attached to the Chateau Ramezay Museum and Historic site, but had free access. It’s set up with sections reminiscent of an earlier 18th century garden in New France. There’s a potager, an orchard and ornamental sections. I was so excited to see this – it’s
