A Lovely Day

The weather held long enough to visit the New England Botanical Gardens at Tower Hill in Boylston, MA.   The garden’s were so lovely and I can’t believe I’ve never been here.  The original farmhouse was built in 1740 and sat on 171 acres.  The gardens were started in 1986.  We had a lovely lunch on the terrace overlooking Wachusett Reservoir.  We then visited the Cider Mill vintage antiques complex.  Such a fun place to wander and it had some funky assemblages.  I got some great vintage linens, lace and old photographs for a new project I will be working on when I’m “confined to barracks” after my knee surgery this summer. (Extra).   Also, a photo of Snowball!  On the road to Hanover, MA. tomorrow.
