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.

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Boothbay, Maine

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Boothbay, Maine


The photos are in no order, other than the first one, which is my favorite. We have been to this garden five times, first visit in 2012, when the garden was five years old. There are many walking paths, a large area devoted to children, numerous types of gardens, ponds, small waterfalls, a boat dock where you can take an hour long trip around the lake, and beautiful flowers to enjoy.































Different flowers for the cats, depending on the season.












The four photos below were taken on our first visit in 2012. I'm sure the shrubs, plants and trees are much larger. And, the parking lots as well.
