St. Louis Botanical Gardens

Living near to this beautiful garden, we go there often. Each time we go, we see different flowers, different insects and beauty all around.

OUR ROAD TRIP - Canada and Beyond

This summer, 2008, my husband and I went on a long road trip. From Illinois we drove north into Wisconsin, Michigan, and Canada. We re-entered the USA in Vermont, and went on to New Hampshire and Maine. Then the long straight shot back to Illinois!
