JUNGLE FREAK

THROUGHOUT THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS, THE FRIGID WINTER FORCED ME TO STAY INDOORS AND GO ABOUT MY DAILY ROUTINE - CATCHING UP ON WORK, WATCHING THE FOOD NETWORK (MY ULTIMATE GUILTY PLEASURE), AND SIPPING ON CUP AFTER CUP OF COFFEE AND TEA. NOW THAT SPRING IS OFFICIALLY HERE, THE WEATHER IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY WARMING UP. I WAS ABLE TO CATCH A QUICK TRIP TO THE BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN TO ENJOY THE LUSH GREENERY THAT I HAD BEEN CRAVING ALL WINTER LONG. IT REMINDED ME OF HOME WHERE THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS OVERFLOW WITH LUXURIANT FOLIAGE. THIS BEAUTIFUL ESCAPE BROUGHT WARMTH AND LIFE TO MY DAY.
