I don’t know about you, but my garden is exploding in such a glorious way this season!  The roses have peaked up here in the northeast, and they were especially fragrant and lush this year. 

I have had roses on my mind since my late April trip to Alabama where I visited the beautiful Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

We were fortunate last year in February right before Covid-19 hit to to travel to the Bahamas where we stayed at the beautiful resort, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar.

With its numerous glorious pools, we were able to put our poolside relaxation skills to the test.

Our favorite was a gorgeous, tucked away separate pool setting called Baha Bay Beach Club. Can I let you in on this little secret?

Let’s enjoy a virtual happy hour together, shall we?

My mind escapes to last summer at Franco’s Bar, perched up high in Positano at Le Sirenuse on the Amalfi coast.
