The Sunday before last, we piled the kids in the car and headed west by north west. Our first stop was the Stow Airfield in Stow, Massachusetts, were we ate breakfast at Nancy’s Cafe while watching little planes fuel, taxi and take off. The kids loved it and the breakfast was good. With bellys full we headed west by south west to The Tower Hill Botanical Garden in Boylston. This hidden gem, located just outside of Worcester, is breathtaking. The grounds are fairly extensive, but we began inside at the orangery.

This was such a peaceful place to be on a cold, blustery November day. We then took a walk around the grounds, DH took this photo of me overlooking the Wachusetts Reservoir, modeling my new wardrobe staple, the purple sweater.

See, I promised knitting content! I’m still working away on my corsett, but school has kept me quite busy and I find I spend my knitting time learning to design better web pages. I’m quite jelous of all the people who are able to actually knit holiday gifts. Not me, not this year. I think this will be a very Target Christmas
