I am ordering flowers for some gardens at the ...Realtors~ Home and Garden Show, ( Its at the end of this month)  
So that means a trip to the wholesale flower greenhouse...( Do you hear The Bells chiming!)
YEA!!, I am so excited! It always smells so wonderful in there, and to see all the colors all in one place is amazing!!

The flower books have been filling the mailbox for weeks now, I love looking at the pictures, and planning what will go in my own yard. I will never have enough!


Just the thought of spring being around the corner gets me excited!!

I am going to cut some forsythia branches today too,Its easy to force the buds,just put the in water and they should be blooming on my counter very quickly, that always helps!!

I also swear I heard a robin singing!! I DID!!! I hope she can find some food!
I have 6 red male cardinals and their wives eating regularly at my 9 feeders...
looks like they LOVE the safflower seed the best.

..... Spring IS in the air... I swear!!
Got my Harley tickets all lined up too and Im ready to go! There is a fun Tropical party coming up at Hals, and ( I got a beautiful rhinestone and leather vest from Theinsville/suburban dealership !)
I can hear the rumble from the garage!

Hee hee ... got to go open the store.


Come ON Spring!! We are counting on you!!
Bye 4 now,
~Vanessa

Hey Lady!! Sorry I didn't make the Retirement party , but my friend and I were shopping until around 8 P.M. for an outfit and shoes for her dad's funeral. No way I would have left her alone doing that. After that we were both pretty physically and mentally wornout.
I hope all went well and I hope there will be pictures.
I saw a chipmunk this morning!! That's a good sign of Spring!!
Take care! I'll be coming by you for help with my butterfly garden.

BTW...I am envious of your Harley. After three knee surgeries I would be riding again anytime soon.
I'd love a Harley Trike!! Maybe I should sell the collector's car for one. I could see me trolling along Lake Michigan on a roadie.

E-Glide Trike

Yeah...you can't take corners quickly. They are more for cruising, which is what I would do at my age anyway. :)
But, at least the wind would still be running through my hair and the world would be mine!!
haha

Oh, that magic feeling of freedom on a Harley.

Yes! I like the excitement right around mothers day... the garden-centers are a buzzing with activity,
I spend way more than I should, but I cant help it!!
That is why I go to the Home and Garden show.too!.. just to see all the green grass and flowers!! I can almost close my eyes and hear the butterfly's flapping their wings!!

my whole insides just relax and feel like im visiting and old friend...

right now I am reading a series of books from a wonderful gardening author named Beverly Nichols...
OH My goodness I Love the way he ( Yes thats His name) writes.. its a series I picked up at maifair mall.

I love his discripyions of walking through his garden behind his Thatched roofed cottege. I read alot of gardening authors and he is rated among the top three!
