  • Garden show

    I attended the Chicago Garden Show at Navy Pier with my cousin on Monday.  We had a fabulous time.  All those gorgeous blooms and smells. 

    Deep breathes along with me and smell those scents:

    There were coleus in every shade and size.

    New varieties of snapdragons and geraniums are on our wish list.

    I love the riot of color.

    We walked a lot.  We should have worn a pedometer just to see how many steps we actually took.  I was quite sore on Tuesday.

    This was a really cool Mexican themed garden.  I entered the drawing for the trip to Mexico.  Hey, you can't win if you don't enter!!!!

    Look closely and you'll see the bronze statue of the children reading.

  • Love the pics--the coleus was esp pretty and the statue was so whimsical & happy! Cute video in previous post. Tell Michelle she looks wonderful. Wish I had time to do stuff like go to those things.

    So you have a Wii? What are you doing on it exercise wise? I think I would like the yoga a lot. I've stopped exercising because I am so frikkin pooped from work and my hours get me home so late--UGH!. So--you go girl on your fitness routine.

    *hugs*

  • @gllady - I love my wii.  I mostly do the step aerobics, but really do all - the balance games, the yoga, the fitness, the other aerobic stuff.  They really do make it fun.

  • I would love to have a statue like that for my gardens such as they are. Wil says no more cutesy stuff. From now on metal or concrete if we purchase something for yard decorations.

    I have to get the wii fit. I'm not using the wii like I should be doing.

  • That looks so refreshing.  All the color and wonderful fragrances which I can almost smell through the computer.

    Your grandmother used to go to the Home and Flower shows in Cleveland every year for many years.  It was a big event.  Dad and I went a couple times.

    After my surgery, we are definitely getting a Wii.

  • Loved the Red Hat Lady display and all of the various flowers.  It did make me feel like Spring IS coming.

  • RYC today--ya got that right!!!     And, yes, I know he will be happy with these gloves. Sometimes it's the littlest things that bring the best smile & most satisfaction. Still--I do need to figure out SOMEthing else to get him.  lol  *hugs*
