Delaware Chews on Foodie Friday at 1906 in Longwood Gardens

Had a fabulous day at Longwood Gardens with a good friend.  In an effort to be frugal and also save some time, I brought a nice light lunch of fruit and salads which we ate in a designated picnic area,  We were not hungry when we decided we just had to try the fancy restaurant, 1906, on the property.  And you must know after walking around for a few hours we were thirsty and wanted cocktails.  Look how they served the bread in the cutest little white ceramic planter...and it was delicious.  Soft and warm and really tasty. 

 

We ordered some special cocktails and admittedly they were a little weird.  We picked a charcuterie to share and everything on it was delicious.  Might have been a special because I just checked the menu and it is no longer on it.

 

Then I had to play around some.  I don't know why  people think you should never remove color from beautiful flowers.  I like to.

 

Thanks for joining me Jess.

 

Delaware Views Hues of Red

 

Nature gave us a big tease this weekend:

blue skies, sunny and warm.

Took a nice long hike in the Washington Crossing State Park.

Had to go to the Jersey side since the loop on the PA side wasn't even plowed.

Not much red going on there so in the process of cleaning up the archives I found some.

 



London Day 8 Royal Botanical Kew Gardens

 

It was raining, it was pouring, there was no man snoring....

Before leaving for London I was advised to do many things.  No one mentioned

Kew Gardens

Even with the rain it was a great place to visit and explore.  I can only imagine what it must be like on a warm spring day.  I was surprised to see so much in bloom and the integration of edibles and ornamentals.  This is a place to come back to again and again.  Hmmmmm sure would be nice if I could.
