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 and we didn't feel like being stuck in the house. We hoped in the car and drove to Brookside gardens.  Honestly, I did not expect to enjoy the gardens as much as I did but there was so much beauty and a nice balance between fall foliage and the flowers still in bloom that it was a pleasure to walk around.

If you are in the DC area add Brookside Gardens to your list of must sees.  It is worth it. 

Check out this video of Brookside Gardens.

Autumn Beauty especially in this time of COVID

The Autumn is my favorite time of year.  The air is so crisp and clear.  It is sleeping weather for me.  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.  

My daughter came home for a visit.  She works in television so it is hard for her to get away especially in this time of COVID.  Sunday was a gorgeous day so we decided to get out of the house.  We ended up driving on this beautiful winding back road and saw a sign for Butler's Orchard.  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. Surprisingly, I had never been there before. 

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