Hi girls -
SO many of us have been dying for a little spring, so I thought I'd share some pictures of the beautiful flowers displayed at the Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh on Easter. While there, I just kept thinking of all of you, and how much you'd enjoy the profusion of color! So, here's a little spring bouquet of fresh air and sunshine from my heart to yours!
Enjoy!

What beautiful pictures Nini!
The bleeding hearts hold a special place in my heart. They remind me of a plant I bought my grandparents when I was about 10 years old...well 35 years later I still have a piece of it.
Thank you for sharing!

Those photos are stunning!!! I am so missing the vibrant colors of Spring. As another Colorado farmgirl...I am still dealing with cold temps and the varying shades of brown on the 5 acres of land we have. My trees do not have any leaves yet either....but good things come to those who wait...right? Someone, if not me, is going to have a beautiful piece of property here soon. Thanks for sharing Nini....a very special Spring gift for us:) Erica |

Thanks Nini!!!
Debbie lives at 9000 ft. in Colorado (on the other side of "my" Colorado Rocky Mountains.
But, even thought I live at a lower elevation . . 7000 ft. in SW Colorado we are, too, also waiting for some wonderful spring color.
Fruit trees are in blossom . . . but I fear they will get frozen. It's cold and windy today and a freeze warning for tonight . . :(
THANKS again!

That's so true, Debbie, because we farmgirls ARE family! ;)
'Glad you all enjoy the pics - that's what I was hoping! It was a last minute decision to head out there before Easter dinner. We were SO glad we did. My parents thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and it was just such a nice, relaxing stroll through all the gardens and displays. Being close to nature makes me feel so much closer to God, you know?
I love the way each flower kind of had a "face" and "personality" of its own - those orchids, especially! They look like little fairies or bees with bright, beautiful wings smiling right back at you!
The colors, the fragrances, the soothing sounds of nature - magnificent! The beauty of each flower truly is its gentle song of praise!
Have a beautiful day, girls!
Hugs -
Nini

Oh my goodness, thank you so very much for sharing. Living at 9000 feet I have yet to see such beautiful colors and any sign of spring. Oh what I have to look forward to in a couple of months. The flowers are fabulous and it sounded like you had a beautiful Easter with your family.
Farm girls are awesome thinking of one another while with there families.
Farm girl Hugs,
Debbie
