Crystal Springs

Dear Liza,

We had some lovely bright days this week, before the rain set in. On one of those days, Cynthia and I went to the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. It was full of happy people and magnificent Rhodies and azaleas.

The forest-y design of the garden lets you wander aimlessly, finding little side trails with wonderful views.

Kids were out, enjoying the day. This fellow wanted to “go talk to the goose.” The goose had no comment, apparently.

And, of course, the bees were busy. This purple azalea was humming with activity!

There is so much peace and beauty to be had in this wonderful place. I have renewed my membership and will head back soon.

Love,

Grandma Judy
