Longwood Gardens Dec 24

Yes, I know this is backwards, I've already posted the Christmas post

but one can always look at beautiful gardens, right??

One of our traditions is Christmas Eve at Longwood,

where we tour the conservatories, sing along to the 

pipe organ Christmas carols, and enjoy the millions of lights

decorating the trees.

Longwood used to be the Dupont Estate - it's located in

Kennet Square, PA, near Delaware.

This year's group, Jules and Diane, on either side,

my daughter Aimee and I in the middle.

The first conservatory was all white this year. Breathtaking!

Can you smell these??

Every time I come to Longwood, I just keep taking deep breaths.

I just can't leave anything alone.

On to the main display!

A banquet table surrounded by water.

The ballroom. You can see the organ console in the corner.

The pipes take up a room the same size behind

 the wall to the right. The panels are fabric.

There are many other rooms and displays.

Aimee is listening to a lily!

Outside, it's starting to get dark and the lights are coming on.

And starting to snow!

Thanks for coming along!

Love, Linda
