Who Else Wants To Get Out Of Town This Weekend?

Real or not real? Find out for yourself at the Philadelphia Flower Show 2013

Why You Should Leave Home This Weekend

So many of you are working so hard these days and sometimes you feel there's no light at the end of the tunnel. To make matters worse one week blends into the next and you know there's something better. I feel your pain, but I also know it doesn't have to be that way - you can free yourself from your work and stress if you just leave town and check out something new this weekend.

My Prescription For a Feel Better Weekend

Every March, the city of Philadelphia offers one of the most incredible sights for people of all ages to enjoy - the Philadelphia Flower Show. The photo above is one of the garden designs that will catch your attention and transport you to another world. After your visit there, you'll arrive home renewed and ready for spring and full of ideas for your garden or home.

What can you plan for the weekend that would not be work related?

Flowers are not your thing? Ok - have you been to NYC's Museum of Natural History in awhile? Mmm, probably not! Not ready for a road trip as yet? Then Google Washington DC and plan from the comfort of your computer to finally enjoy the Cherry Tree Festival in one of the most beautiful cities in the northeast.

See you there!

Nothing Is More Beautiful Than...

 

What Spring Flowers Can Do For You

 

By the end of February I am done with winter.

All the logs for our fireplace can sit there for all I care.

I'm ready for Spring.

Even my favorite pine scented candle is losing its attraction.

I'm thinking of lemon scented or lavender scented anything.

 

But mostly I just want to see some flowers, some color

 and fresh green stems  and I don't mean asparagus!

All the dull grass outside makes a trip to the

Philadelphia Flower Show a must see event

 

 

 

What Can You Do To Make Spring Arrive Sooner?

As I mentioned above, it's the Flower Show that heralds the start of Spring for me.

The minute I enter the Flower Show's event hall I'm almost overcome

with the color, the scent and the energy

of all that creativity that I'm about to explore.

 

Best of all, I always come home with scores of ideas for home and garden.

There are vendors with plants, flowers and stems of curly willow -

everything and anything a flower enthusiast could want.

 

I hope to see you there!

I'll post some photos just for you to see.

If you can't travel to Philly, at least pick up some flowers

today at your local florist or floral department.

It'll change the way you feel.
