Beauty

Just thought I would put one of the pictures that I took yesterday when we went to the Amish country side. OK well maybe I will post more than one picture. I took pictures as we drove so I was taking them through the windshield and as the car was moving. My husband doesn't believe in stopping for me to take pictures. So here are two that I really liked. As you can see the first one is just a shot of the Amish farmland. I just think the farmland is so pretty. The second one is a business in Bird In Hand, PA that as you can see sell flowers. The flowers are so pretty up here. When you live in Florida we got tired of seeing the same kind of flowers all of the time. Here everybody plants so many different varieties of flowers. I wanted to get some but right now we don't have the extra money. I had to make a decision food or flowers. So since I don't have any flowers that I needed to plant in my yard when we got home you can guess that food won out over flowers. I do have some flower seeds that I might try to get a planter of some sort and try to grow my own from seeds. Maybe I will have flowers in a year or so who knows.

I am addicted

OK, I admit it I am now addicted. I followed the link from The Dutch Bitch blog for the spring flowers in Holland and the surrounding area. I decided to save a few pictures to my computer. Well....... I finally stopped and discovered I had downloaded 144 pictures. But, everyone is absolutely beautiful. So I decided to put a couple of them here in this post so you could enjoy them just as much as I did. You see living here in good old central Florida, we never get spring flowers unless we buy a pot of them from the store and then they just aren't the same, trust me. For some reason the spring type flowers just do not grow in Florida. I guess it is because we don't have winter here. We have Summer, Summer, Summer, and well Summer. One or two of the summers might get a little cooler but it is not a guarantee. So to enjoy spring I am going to keep changing the wallpaper on my laptop from one picture to another and that will be as close as I can get to springtime. There is one problem though. When I try to smell the picture of the Hyacinth all I seem to do is make a nose print on the screen. I do sneak and when I find a pot of them in the grocery store in the spring I always pick them up and take a good long sniff which is about the best I can do. I also remember when I was a kid and we used to have this one small patch of Iris's right beside the garage. For some reason my Mother never called them by the name of an Iris. She always called them Flags. I don't know where that came from but the have always been one of my favorite flowers as well. So I have only put 2 of the 144 pictures that I downloaded. I did not want to overload the post with pictures but if you enjoy them check out The Dutch Bitch's blog and you will be able to find a link there to download your own pictures. Hope you have as much enjoyment as I did if you decide to do this. Have a Happy Spring!
