This morning I took a quiet walk in the woods and came upon these ferns. I love seeing them at this stage. Every spring they come up… no matter how cold the winter, they always return. I like that.
Here are some photos from the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site or as we call it – Connemara. My son and I had such a nice time. It really is a great place for families.
Carl Sandburg’s Presidential Medal of Freedom
presented to him by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
We had snow on Christmas Day. Now, how perfect is that, I ask you. The boys were thrilled and so was I. Since then we’ve had another snow storm. I’m seriously considering buying some snow shoes. Of course, once I do, we probably won’t get any more snow… there’s a thought.
Even though I was surrounded by beautiful trees dressed in fall leaves and the Biltmore House behind me, these bright red leaves and berries trailing along the wall caught my eye.
I decided to take a morning for myself… do what I wanted to do. This doesn’t happen too often so I think it’s important to grab moments when they become available.
The Biltmore House - an impressive view every time.
Marble statue of Diana at the top of the hill.
Diana again. She’s one of my favorites.
And if you’re wondering if there are still flowers in the gardens… there are.
Plenty of beautiful, colorful flowers.
