SUNSHINE WITH A TWIST AT FAIRCHILD BOTANIC GARDEN

1/30/2014

 
Here’s a news flash for those of you battling Old Man Winter right about now.  On average, one thousand people a day throw in the towel (make that snow shovel) and move to the Sunshine State.   Those averages may climb by the time El Nino gets done with most of the U.S. 

I could complain about the rain for the last two days putting a damper on our visit to Miami, where my sister Lynda just happens to have a home and a guest room, but I know I’d get very little sympathy. 

In all honesty, I’m here to bring you some sunshine with a twist following my visit to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.

Enjoy!
