I will be the gladdest thing
under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one!
~Edna St. Vincent Millay
On Friday, Mom and I headed down to Cincinnati to attend the 2009 Flower Show. It was the first year we have gone and we were not disappointed!It was quite warm, 92 degrees by one stall's thermometer, and humid but we still enjoyed ourselves immensely.
As always, you may click on each photo to make it larger!
There were things of beauty right from the start...
The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.

I would have loved to bring this cart home with me!
These fairy houses reminded me of our dear blog friend sweet Pea!
There was an old woman who lived in a shoeand had so many children she didn't know what to do...
...so she planted
their shoes with lettuce and soil
...so she planted
their shoes with lettuce and soiland peppers, sweet onions and potatoes to boil.
There were ideas a plenty and lots of things to
buy...
Flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made and
The Earth laughs in flowers.

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the Flower Show sites along with me.

WOw that is so cool what great things! I love that teapot! I wish I lived closer haha. I also wanted to tell you that I have an award for you at my blog :)

Truly amazing. I so enjoy these little jaunts with you. If I lived closer I so would have been there. I just love flowers. Growing up in New England, I never appreciated the flowers like I do now that I live in the south and we really don't have anything so spectacular. Thank you so much for sharing.
(sigh) Just beyond-words-beautiful!
OMG Susie,
This is amazing.
Wish I could go too.
Beauty everywhere you look.

I loved that guy fishing. Wish I could remake him here at home to sit by the lake. Our home show is this weekend. Can't wait to go. Happy Day Susie. xo Lynn
The Flower Show looks like terrific fun. It sure was hot that weekend! I was smiling at every single photo...flowers do that to me. My favorite was the one with the old pickup truck.
