Need some flowers???

There is a greenhouse near where I live that I just love to visit every spring. I don't always buy here but it does give me lots of ideas. How could it not it is so big if you can't find just the right flower here you never will.
My middle child and I spent about two and a half hours wandering up and down the aisles, wowing and ahaaing, making statements like, "oh, isn't this pretty, I have just the place for this", only to have our eyes scan on to the next beauty waiting for our exclamations of wonder.



Here you see my lovely child touching some of the stepables that can be planted in walkways and actually walked on without damaging the plant. She just had to touch them and in the process manage to pluck a small portion out of the container, which she quickly tamped back into the dirt without any damage but gave us a start and a good laugh. Joking about how the flower police would be coming to take her away any minute!!!



I'm not familiar with what this hanging plant is but there were rows and rows of them creating an awesome flood of color that gave visual wonder to the eye, and the nose for that matter.


I snapped this one on my way to the green house. The day was crisp and clean with these huge clouds that were begging me to take their picture. God has given us so many things to remind us of His presence, all we have to do is look around and smell the flowers, look at the clouds and enjoy our times together with family. Life is good if we keep in simple.
