Do-Go-See

I should have posted this months ago but I will say I have been busy. At what? Who knows exactly, but time always seem to drift off somewhere, slipping through my hands before everything is crossed off the to-do list. Is it just me or does everyone else feel that, no matter what, the sink, garbage and laundry baskets are always full?!

Anyway...here are some things I suggest you Do-Go-See.

Do - Schedule family pictures. I try to do it professionally once a year. When planning ours, I like to change the season in which we have them done with each year. This time I really wanted to go for a winter scene. Being that we live in upstate New York I thought this would a piece of cake. However the majestic winter scene I envisioned was hard to come by, the weather was not cooperating. I mean when you want it to snow it doesn't and when you are waiting so patiently for the warm weather to get here, where is it? It was a beautiful day today, but I threw my sock at the TV when Glen Johnson told me it was going to be 45 on Saturday. I digress. After re-scheduling about 13 times for our winter scene, we finally were able to get things done. We worked with a wonderful photographer-Hilary Argentieri. She was warm, pleasant, patient, and great with my girls. We all really enjoyed the experience. On my do list, contact Hilary, you wont regret it. See her work here and below!!

Go- To Highland Park, that is where we headed for the said photo shoot. What a great gem right here in our back yard. They have a beautiful sunken garden, the Highland Bowl, and the Lilac Festival (coming soon). These are all parts of the park that you all might be well aware of, as I was.

See- The Lamberton Conservatory. If you go to Highland Park you need to see the new (to me) hidden gem I found in The Lamberton Conservatory. It almost feels like a stay-cation; Tropical plants, floral wonders, turtles, ponds.
 
No silly we are not in Arizona, we are here in Rochester, in February!
