I'd wanted to try to make it to the show on Monday to see you and Beckie, but some sort of virus got me and kept me at home. :( Glad it went away quickly though so I could make it at the end of the week.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-31409508675777452452010-03-16T09:01:02.498-05:002010-03-16T09:01:02.498-05:00I'm sorry you don't have any blooms in you...I'm sorry you don't have any blooms in your yard yet but I'm glad you shared your photos of the garden show.

Maybe one year we garden bloggers could all meet there. <br /><br />Loved the birdhouse surrounded by spring flowers. Yes, it would be special to have those arrangements come up all at the same time. I adore tiny daffys.<br /><br />And the pizza garden with dolls. What a neat idea. To put dolls in the garden. Mind you, they'd probably get full of mud when it rained. Hmmmmm. <br /><br />Like that gardener-maybe-a-blogger person taking a pic. I'll bet she is a blogger. <br />That tablescape was beautiful too, especially the rose sundae.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788733654505792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-61501211229043226142010-03-15T20:05:59.771-05:002010-03-15T20:05:59.771-05:00What a great show that was.
