The REAL Botanical Garden – Stopping to Smell the Roses

Hello everyone! I know I’ve already mentioned it, but fall is my absolute favorite time of year, especially living in the Hudson Valley, where the cider donuts are sweeter, the apple orchards more plentiful, and where a drive from any one destination to another means being in awe of the ever-changing leaves. I particularly love…
