back

My visit was over in a flash.  I can hardly believe it went by so fast.  I've already spent two nights back in my bed at the farm.  As always the transition has been jarring.  Plus my computer has been acting up so doing things like going through my photos and working on my blog are taking lots longer than they should.  For a moment I'll pretend I'm still on vacation and I'll share some of my photos from our visit to The Chicago Botanic Garden.

We started our visit with scones and coffee on the deck outside their restaurant.

And then we walked and walked and walked.

And had to visit the fruit and vegetable island twice because it's our favorite.

That arch is made of apple trees!

But everything was beautiful.

We also had a lot of fun hanging out with my dad and brother.  Eating all sorts of yummies, playing games, watching movies, walking in beautiful places.  And the concert was amazing.  My feet ached and I was hot and sweaty by the end of the night, but there's something great about live music.

And now I am missing Matthias more than ever.
