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.

Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania


Longwood Gardens at Kennett Sq., Pennsylvania

I have visited this garden about five times. Once at Christmas, and the rest through out the year. The photos in this blog were taken in February 2012 during their annual orchid display. Of course there many other plants, but orchids are my favorite. Fortunately, we were blessed with a springlike day.





















   










Lots of people enjoying the orchids.

Views of the outside, snow free.
  

Longwood Gardens is so huge, you might need an entire day to see everything. The maps are small, but gives you an indication of how huge the site is.
