MAGICAL CHANTICLEER




     On a brilliant sunny day, I went to Chanticleer Garden in Wayne

I was struck by the magical feeling I felt as I entered. I imagined fairies hiding in between the tulips in the Teacup Garden.







    Walking the trails from garden to garden, I felt the peacefulness 

that only nature's exquisite beauty can bring.


 

  I could picture walking the trails each morning and discovering a new treasure to view every day. I envision a picnic with friends as we open a bottle of wine, breathe in the fragrance of nature, and have delightful conversation while exploring the Asian Woods and Bell's Woodland. 

 

Walking on through the Tennis Court,

 the Ruin, the Gravel Garden, and the Pond, 



I realize how art and gardening go hand in hand.


The Rosengarten Family gave a true gift to all by creating the Chanticleer Garden Foundation and opening it to the public. If you have never been there before, put it on

 your list of things to do.  Check out the website http://chanticleergarden.org

Here, we are on the verge of Thanksgiving.  Days turn into darkness earlier, and the cold wind reminds us that snow is on the way.,         Snow bunnies wish for snow, and sun goddesses wish for warm weather. I love those 70-degree days we have had, but the needed rain is a blessing.        It feels as though the last Thanksgiving was days ago. If you are ready, it’s time to make that Christmas or Hanukkah list.        Check out Amazon Prime and shop the sales before Thanksgiving. Sales are everywhere, and stores are stocked with holiday gifts and decorations. So, shop online or in person. Early if possible, but if you are like me, you’ll still pick up those last-minute gifts on December 24 th .   ...

Remembering Pope Francis   Pope Francis's death deeply saddened me. I remember when he came to Philadelphia.   Kevin Tustin and I were covering his visit for our paper. We rode the trolley to 69 th  Street and took the El to Philadelphia. We went through the metal detectors and walked to JFK Parkway.     The crowds grew larger as the day went on. Kevin interviewed many who had come to see the Pope, and I took photos.  Even before he came to the city of Brotherly Love, people posed with cardboard images of him. Many wrote messages to him on canvas boards with the Pope's profile to be presented to him later.    As we walked around the city, people were smiling at each other. They didn't mind waiting.    Pope Francis arrived on a balmy autumn day, igniting hope and joy in the city. Passing by in his Popemobile, he waved to the crowd of believers and those curious to see this majestic man of God.    Pope Francis was a man of ...
