Yay!!! I finally got off the island last month. It has been a long 18 months of no travel. Getting my booster Covid vaccination made me braver to sit on that plane with lots of other people. My daughter and I went to Boston for 5 nights, then she had to come back for work, but I stayed on for a further 5 nights out in a country town. This was our first time there and we quickly decided that we really liked the city. Despite moving around the city, a lot by tube and bus, we still walked our feet off as we visited all the historical sites. We were there in the last weeks of the month, so it was fun to see all the decorations for Halloween and Thanksgiving. It was interesting to see how everybody seemed to incorporate flowers into their Halloween decorations. The nurseries that sell potted Chrysanthemums must make a killing during the holiday. I was surprised to see a tropical thin leaf red Ti and orange leafed Crotons being incorporated into the Halloween displays. Below are a few garden related photos from the trip. Remember you can click on one of the photos to see it bigger and in slide form.
