Beautiful Blithewold

Hubby and I spent a blissful evening wandering the gardens at Blithewold Mansion and Arboretum in Bristol, R.I. tonight. If my sister is reading this, I'm sorry I didn't stop by! Anyway, it was absolutely beautiful and inspired me to take my gardening a step further. Just look at that astilbe (top left) - like fluffy cotton candy. There's a wonderful rose garden too, and the Web site has some great advice about growing your own roses (I personally am scared to try roses, but maybe next year!).

We were actually there for a reception given by the March of Dimes R.I. chapter, which is a great organization. Good food, good company ... but oh, those flowers! We couldn't resist a lengthy stroll.
