This was a pic of the bar in one of the gardens. It had a stream carved down the middle and wine flowing through it.

Hope this helps brighten everyone's remaining winter days. Daylight Savings Time starts March 14. Not too much longer to wait. Spring is just around the corner. I can hear those frogs and toads singing already.

Did you spill that glass of wine into the dry creek bed running across the bar? LOL Very unique!

My poor pond is still under snow. I never know if fish survive til the snow melts. Thanks for some pretty moving water pictures. Helps me remember that not all water is in ice form!!!

Hi Lisa:

I didn't buy a thing. Just looked. I was really disappointed with the show this year. The gardens were not handicapped accessible. I felt so bad for all wheelchair attendees. One of the vendors tried to make their's handicapped friendly but the ramps were so steep you could hardly walk up them, let alone negotiate a wheelchair up them. They had to sit beside the gardens while their families went through. Some of the stairs were so steep I couldn't even negotiate them. One of the homes had two fights of stairs to climb for the entrance. I ended up watching my granddaughter while my s-i-l and daughter went throught the gardens and homes because my hip was hurting so bad I couldn't do another stair if I wanted to. (It's not fun getting old). The pics I took were from the outside area around the gardens. I still enoyed looking at the ponds, fountains and plants though. It was my "green fix" till Spring arrives, and watching Sarah just made it better.

Oh Jenny I am so sorry about your hip. The show should be embarassed that the displays were not accessible to all. Now I hate to change the subject.......but regarding your hip. If you need access to the best ortho doctors then let me know. I am currently a nursing supervisor for an orthopaedic hospital.
