The Life From The Roots blog topics have changed several times since I began this blog in 2009. I initially wrote only about the family history I had been working on for 20 years. Years later, I was into visiting gardens, historical homes, churches, libraries that had genealogical collections, historical societies, war memorials, and travel/tourism places. I also enjoy posting autographs and photos of famous people I've met or have seen.

Along with my New England roots, other areas include New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for topics (please note, they need work). Below the labels and pageviews is a listing of my top nine posts, according to Google. Four of them pertain to Lowell, MA. These posts change often because they are based on what people are reading.

White Flower Farm, Litchfield, Massachusetts


 White Flower Farm (website)
Litchfield, Connecticut

   
I have been to White Flower Farm before this visit, it isn't a farm but a family-owned nursery, with some plants from outside the United States. This is a great place to order bulbs, seeds, and plants of all kinds. Even though it was August 14, 2010, we had a spring-like day, and fortunately, no tourists or shoppers around! It was too early to buy bulbs for fall, tho they had a few to sell. It's a nice place to walk the trails and enjoy all the sights in front of you.

Check out their catalog. When I was into gardening, I ordered from them frequently, usually getting my catalog in January or February, and had a few months to dream about gardening in winter.
