Ruby--

I am SOOO sorry you missed the Orchid Room! Oh my!!! They were all SPECTACULAR!!!!! That would have blown you away!!!! I am sure you will see all kinds of pictures posted. For the rest of you--just go to the Mid Atlantic Forum to see them all.

There were all kinds of other "Rooms" off of this. Seemed like an endless "loop". one--Tropicals--Carnivorous--Ferns--Cactus and Succulents--The Silver Room--etc.....

It was another 2 hours of walking.....and this was all still part of the Conservatory!

Then we went on to the "Ideas Garden"--a FULL Vegetable and Herb garden. And the Bell Tower, with it's wonderful bells "singing" every half hour or so. And the location of it--on a hillside covered in Azaleas and a waterfall to one side. So beautiful!

Lots more walking......I think we all were starting to "feel it"! Even Sally....I mean--I have an excuse, but she is still a "young one"....I survived the day by taking 2 pain pills----
When we all got back to the parking Lot--we woofed down the Apple Fritters I had brought. Chatted a while and then drove home.

Overall--it was a most perfect day! Not too warm--not cold at all. Just a slight breeze now and then....

I am falling asleep writing this! Too much fresh air......

YES!!!! I have a picture of Me hugging Ruby for those of you that asked for it.....
Here it is.......
