Flower & Garden Show

We had a great Sunday!We headed to Old Westbury for the annual Flower & Garden Show at Hicks Nursery. I've mentioned this nursery before. It is over a hundred years old and is still owned by one of the earliest families on Long Island, the Hicks family. It's such a tradition for us for all the seasons whether it be walking through their Halloween display and seeing Otto the Ghost or seeing Santa every year there (for free, too!). We visit for all the various events . The flower show is special because you can walk at your own pace and spend as much time as you want looking at the flowers, bushes, ponds, etc. It was so beautiful and really had me aching for flowers and planting. They had some beautiful Easter displays set up as well. I hope everyone enjoys the photos. We can't even think of planting here until Mother's Day. Even though the weather has warmed up a little, even on the days when it is 55 degrees, it still feels cold. We'll see how the end of the week feels when it is supposed to go up to almost 70.

Today I have a few errands to run, and I'm going to pick up the ingredients for a homemade, super SIMPLE candy recipe today. I tasted this last week and had to get the recipe. After I make it, I will post it. Something so easy tastes so incredible. I also plan to start a new Amish fiction book from a different author, Cindy Woodsmall. I've read several by other authors so lets see how Cindy's Amish books measure up :) Have a great day!
