Paperwhites



After Spending a fabulous weekend in Salem Ma.,  I came home to my pretty Paperwhites all in bloom.  I love these delicate flowers, they smell so pretty and give light to a room especially during the long winter months.  They are so easy to grow too.  Just place the bulbs in a small bowl with enough soil to cover half of the bulb and watch them grow in just a couple weeks.

 The Ropes Mansion is one of my favorite homes in Salem
 The formal Gardens of the Ropes Mansion are absolutely stunning.  I can spend all day strolling the garden and relaxing on one of several benches.  A perfect place to bring a book and enjoy nature.
 The window boxes at the Hawthorne Hotel are always beautifully designed
