When the weather turns colder and the snow starts to come down, I hold onto thoughts of the Philadelphia Flower Show in March and tell myself I can survive another winter. Kind of like the young artist in O. Henry’s The Last Leaf. As I looked through photos of last year’s flowers, this one caught my eye. You may wonder why since the last thing it screams is “Spring!” and yet I thought, this is a plant that says “I’m not what you expect!” Some people are like that also, all prickly and gruff on the outside, but with souls as pretty as that flower once you get to know them. Anyway, have a great Thursday!

#ThrowbackThursday – Philadelphia Flower Show
I am so counting down to spring! Only 41 more days to go and it’s hard for me to think that it’s think that it’s that far away without a little hint of spring to keep me going. That’s why I love the Philadelphia Flower Show! We go every year since it’s also the same week as my birthday so it’s a super special celebration with my sister and sometimes our daughters. So much fun. For today, I’m sharing a little blast of my fav flowers with you: Carnations. Yes, I know, very pedestrian, but I love them! They just smell so good and they last forever when they’ve been cut.
#ThrowbackThursday – The Philadelphia Flower Show
I’m not a fan of cold weather and winter is tough for me. There is one thing that keeps my going until Spring arrives – The Philadelphia Flower Show. I love seeing all the amazing flowers and imagining how one day I could make my yard look like that – if only all the deer would go away! I especially love bulbs, like tulips, hyacinths, irises and more so today’s throwback is to some tulips from the 2010 Flower Show.
#ThrowbackThursday Philly Flower Show
By this time of winter, my cabin fever has set in and I am so ready for spring! I love being outdoors. I love flowers and plants and the taste of sun warm tomatoes straight from my yard. Sigh. One of the things that keeps me going until then is the Philadelphia Flower Show! I can’t wait to go this year!
So today’s throwback is to the 2015 Philadelphia Flower Show. I’ll have lots of photos for you the second week in March.
#ThrowbackThursday The Philly Fanatic
Hubby and I went to school right outside of Philadelphia and as it turned out, our daughter chose a college in Philadelphia as well! The first parent’s weekend, we went out for the festivities and who was there: None other than the Philly Fanatic, the mascot for the Phillies baseball team.
This is my daughter with the Fanatic and my hubby photobombing them!
Sharing the Fun!
I was recently at a conference in Philadelphia and wanted to share some photos with you. I had a nice time meeting both old and new friends and Philly was so much fun. The hotel was in Center City and the weather was great, so it was not a problem walking around. We were able to share the city with friends who had never been there before which was cool. I love Philly. It’s a great city.
So now onto the photos! If you can’t see the slideshow below, you can click here to see the photos.
