I'm going to let the photos speak for themselves.

Biltmore Blooms

One of the things that I wanted to do on my birthday, was spend a morning strolling through the gardens at the Biltmore Estate.   Seems like I've always shortchanged myself on previous visits, as far as the gardens are concerned.  By the time I've toured the home, had lunch and so forth, I'm worn out, so the gardens have been the last thing on the agenda and I've taken a quick look and headed home.  On this day though, with my camera in hand, I spent all of my time in the gardens and conservatory and boy did I enjoy it.  It felt very indulgent.   The Festival of Flowers was beginning to wind down, but I made it in time to see those amazing tulips!

The trees were just beginning to leaf out.

It was a lovely morning.

Chat Books

Have you heard about Chatbooks?  

It's an awesome app that allows you to create books from your Instagram feed.  Don't do Instagram?  You can create them from any photos on your phone.

It's easy.  Really easy. It's cheap.  $8 a book.

You customize each book with a name on the spine.

The quality of the printing is great.  I'm in love with them.

You can check out Chatbooks here and start creating your own memory books.  I'm not getting a commission or anything.  I just wanted you to know about something that's making me happy!
