Today was probably one of the most beautiful days this summer! I couldn’t help but just feel happy. I took advantage of the day as soon as I woke up. One of the things on my summer list was to experience Montclair a little more. It’s such a historical, beautiful, hip, trendy, and active town, with new things popping up everywhere. Last week I went hiking at Mill’s Reservation, and today I decided I’d put on a light summer dress and go to the Van Vleck House and Garden. Although parts of the small garden were under construction and some of the flowers weren’t in bloom {or were dried out} it was still a relaxing afternoon. With my camera in tow, I walked around and took in the fresh air and gorgeous day. I thought about absolutely nothing, but just enjoying the moment.
I would love to have a large garden full of beautiful flowers, along with plenty of vegetables and fruits. This quaint little garden reminded so much of European gardens.
How cool are these leaves!
I just love garden spray roses.
A patch of bees working hard to make honey…
This little spot is just quaint and lovely, and it’s a great retreat come springtime…
today was such a great day, especially here in Philly. The weather was amazing and I couldn’t help but walk outside just to be outside. Glad you did the same!
Days like today definitely make me miss working in Center City and taking a break to walk outside. Good to see you took advantage of it!
