Biltmore Estate Garden Tour

Hello everyone,
I feel like my world is up side down.  I wanted to publish this post
about two months ago. Four Ladies Go Traveling went to the
Biltmore Estate in May and I am just now writing this post.
Biltmore Estate HERE
The Gardener's Place is on the back side of the Conservatory.
May is a perfect month to visit the Biltmore Gardens.
The spring annuals are planted and in glorious bloom.
You can see the entrance to the Conservatory at the end of the large bed of
annuals.
The roses are in full bloom.
The grounds of the 125,000-acre estate were designed by
Frederick Law Olmsted, the creator of New York's Central Park.







The Biltmore Estate officially opened on Christmas Eve in 1895.
The weather was perfect, and the visit we enjoyed was amazing.
I hope I inspired you to spend some time at the Biltmore.
Joyously,
Betty

Zinnia Tea Time

Hello everyone,
I have been MIA for a couple of weeks.
I had cataract surgery on my left eye, and 
it's difficult to see small print. My husband
has been so wonderful about putting drops in
my eyes, and on Thursday I will have the
 right eye done. 
Today I have a beautiful set of teacups, saucers, and dessert dishes
on my tea table for the August page of my calendar. 
My daughter-in-law inherited this lovely set when
her mother passed away. My DIL's grandmother vacationed in Norway
and brought this set home as a souvenir. I am blessed to be
the lucky custodian of the beautiful Norwegian dishes.   
My Zinnias are blooming in the garden and 
I wanted to have a bouquet for tea time.
The yellow zinnia is just outstanding.
The dog days of Summer are over, and now I am looking forward to 
Autumn.  The temps have been over 100° for weeks, and I am
so ready to play in the garden and not get scorching hot before noon.
Hopefully, I will get back into the swing of things after Thursday's eye surgery.
Thanks for visiting.
Joyously,
Betty
