A Beautiful Place to See during COVID and beyond

 


My daughter has been visiting from Southwest Virginia.  Actually this is her vacation.  Originally we had planned a mother daughter trip to France but life and COVID changed our plans. We are trying to remain optimistic in our hopes to go sometime in 2021 but you never know what is going to happen.

It was another beautiful day on Monday. Looking for a change of scenery and an escape from our house, we hoped in the car and drove to Brookside gardens.  

Much to my surprise, the gardens were even more beautiful than I had imagined. The balance between the vibrant fall foliage and the flowers still in bloom made our walk a delightful experience. 

This is a wonderful place to enjoy nature. If you are in the DC area add Brookside Gardens to your list of must see.  

Check out this video of Brookside Gardens.

Autumn Beauty especially in this time of COVID


Autumn is my favorite time of year.  The air is so crisp and clear, perfect sleeping weather.  I have this amazing, weighted comforter and when I slip under the covers the weight and the warmth just lull me into a deep sleep.  

Recently my daughter who works for a television station, came home for a visit. Tt is hard for her to get away especially in this time of COVID. Sunday was a gorgeous day, so we decided to escape the house and explore. Driving along a winding back road, we stumbled upon a sign for Butler's Orchard. Intrigued, we turned onto the path, and at the end, we discovered a breathtakingly beautiful place. We thought this would be a wonderful opportunity to take some Fall pictures so we turned onto the road and at the end was this beautiful place. 

In addition to some stills my daughter shot some video and this is the link montage from the Orchard. Please check it out.

Recently, my daughter, who works in television, came home for a visit. It’s rare for her to get away, especially during these challenging COVID times. Sunday was a gorgeous day, so we decided to escape the house and explore. Driving along a winding back road, we stumbled upon a sign for Butler's Orchard. Intrigued, we turned onto the path, and at the end, we discovered a breathtakingly beautiful place. If you have never been to Butlers Orchard, consider taking the family and spending an hour or two.  There are activities for children and so great bakery and produce items. Though I’ve lived in the area for years, I was amazed I’d never visited this hidden gem before.
