I was on my way back from a Listing Consultation not far from the Susquehanna Valley Country Club when I decided to take a detour & visit Keithans Bluebird Gardens. It's a hidden Local Gem & now is one of the most beautiful times to experience it. Note to self: Grab some takeout and enjoy lunch outdoors! Love Living Local!!!

Here's to all the Moms today! Where would we be without you? You make one of the most challenging life endeavors - so very beautiful. Thank you for putting your very heart & soul (not to mention blood, sweat and tears) into being a Mother! Happy Mother's Day - not just today, but every day, you should be celebrated! Love Living Local!!!

I met a new friend while I was visiting Wildwood Lane Greenhouse & he really hammed it up for the cam! These are the moments that make living where we do so special! (BTW, I taught him that trick in the last pic!) Love Living Local!!!

It's planting time Localvores and we're blessed with an abundance of Localpreneurs who make it their life's work to nurture amazing natural beauty for us to bring home & enjoy! Flowers, vegetable plants - suited for hanging baskets, pots & urns, gardens or just tucked in small spaces - they all add joy to our lives, goodness for body, mind & soul plus - if you're planning to sell your home - they are a must to have in order to reach maximum showing appeal for buyers! I've featured many Local greenhouses throughout The Valley - here's one secret gem in Port Treverton - Wildwood Lane Greenhouse, it's a very special place...get out there! Enjoy! Love Living Local!!!

Speaking of moving that body...it's all about getting down to basics...ah, simplicity! Love Living Local!!!

Body revved up after a brisk cardio session, this sight met me on the way back...fortunate are we to live in a place that is so beautiful that at times, it seems magical. Enjoy this day & Love Living Local!!!

It promises to be a busy day so I set out early this morning to get the body moving...bonus...caught a beautiful moonset! Love Living Local!!!
