Buffalo Botanical Gardens - A much needed break from Old Man Winter

And what a lovely break it was!  So glad I went.  I feel that it rejuvenated my spirits - if only for just a couple of hours.  I've had enough of the bitter cold, the snow, the ice the wind the salt polluting the roads.

It was so nice in there - very warm and humid, and the flowers and trees were beautiful.  I would have gladly spent more time there but they closed at 5 and anyways, I didn't bring a book to read.  I took loads of pictures, though :) 

It will be four years this year in August since we got married there ♥

"Living stones"
 






The Spring semester is well under way now and I will be busier than ever this year!  But I will try to make time for the things I enjoy because we all know that too much work and no play makes things rather dull!

After visiting the Gardens, I found two plants I'd like to get.  I'd like to get a couple of the little Lithops, or "living stones" as they are known.  I thought they were the cutest little things.  They look like brains to me - don't you → agree ← ?  And the other is the venus flytrap.  I've always wanted one and I'm on a mission to get one now.  Once in a while we get fungus gnats in our house because I sometimes over water my other plants too much so I figure a bunch of venus flytraps would help alleviate the problem :)  Plus they look sooo cool and badass!

Well I'll be off to homework land now!

Have a good week everybody :)
