The Smell of Spring

Mr. Bellingrath once said “The Gardens are like a beautiful woman with a different gown for each week of the year.” With the camellia blooms in winter, the azaleas in spring, roses in the summer, chrysanthemums in autumn and our famed Magic Christmas in Lights during the holiday season, Bellingrath Gardens and Home is a 65 acre estate of year-round beauty.

What a fun day we had enjoying not only the beautiful garden, but also enjoying being with family! Mom is not confined to a wheelchair. It just helps her not get so tired out and also helps to cover ground faster. Photo: My older brother, my sister (in law), hubby, Mom (seated) Me and my older little sister.
