Yesterday, my husband and I made our annual trip to Hartford to see the Connecticut Flower and Garden Show. We've done this every February for several years now and I can't imagine approaching spring without this ritual welcoming of the long awaited season! If you're in Connecticut there is still time to attend the show. Here is a link to their site - ctflowershow.com - along with ticket prices and directions. If you miss this one, you're in luck, they tend to be popping up all over the country this time of year.
Here are some pictures that I took yesterday at the floral competition. The theme this year was 'The Fabulous Fifties'! Both 'floral shoes' were designed with only natural items to resemble fifties footwear!

In addition to all the wonderful flower competitions, there were great landscape displays and booths offering anything you can imagine surrounding the home and garden theme. Of course there was food...lots of samples so we grazed our way through the convention center. It was tough to leave the flower show and be blasted with cold, windy weather as we made our way through the parking garage to the top level! And yes, we did see snowflakes as we left. Spring can arrive anytime. Here's a little of what we saw yesterday!
