Stopping to Smell the Roses

Besides sitting over coffee and enjoying backyard BBQs this summer, I was able to travel to a number of favorite spots in southern Ontario and Michigan. One place I wanted to visit was the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington. Even though June is a little late for lilac season (my all-time favorite flower, hands down), I could hardly resist the opportunity to sit back and smell the roses.





After entertaining my guests (Pam, Phil and Becky) in my backyard gardens, I got the chauffeur to bring the car around and drive us to dinner at Mexicali Rosa's. Nothing like going first class for some chimichangas and burritos. As if =)
