Greenhouse & Green Mitts

sweet basil, lights, white cyclamen, norfolk pine
and yellow paphiopedilum 

baby alpaca mitts

Today I opted for the heady rush of exhaling plants

and made a trip to the greenhouse not a half mile away.

The yellow orchid stole my heart...

So busy at work lately...

Pearl S. Buck House

small library

Camellia greenhouse

I went for a ride today and ended up at Green Hills Farm,

also known as the Pearl S. Buck House National Historic Landmark.

Pearl Buck is best known for her book The Good Earth.

A large restoration project was just completed on the home earlier this year.

I didn't have time to tour the inside of the house but was

able to sneak a photo of the small library through a side door window.

(I'm rather smitten with that rose colored chair.)

The grounds were immaculate.

I doubt a squirrel or rabbit would dare to brave that green lawn!
