YESTERDAY, a beautiful autumn day, Kathy needed a little pick-me-up. A little beauty. A bit of perfection. So we headed for St. Cloud’s glorious Munsinger Gardens and Clemens Rose Gardens. They did not disappoint. Sometimes we almost felt as if we were strolling through a series of Monet paintings—but even better—for there were the lovely scents of roses and alyssum and the flights of hummingbirds and the nestling of bees in blossoms and the quacking of ducks along the river. Under azure skies. It was all real. A filling up of the senses. We have never seen the Gardens look more beautiful. And so we wandered, and soaked it up. Go ahead and wander with us.
