A Little Piece of Heaven . . . . .

. . . . . and the promise of Spring.

"It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is.

And when you've got it, you want-oh,

you don't quite know what it is you do want,

but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!"

- Mark Twain

Yes, this is exactly how I felt when I was at the nursery otherwise known as Cornelius, or if
you live in the Dallas area, Calloway's. I don't get there very often as it's an hour away, but I had
a doctors appointment and it's just down the street from there. And talk about timing . . as I walked
into the store I kid you not the song from Top Gun came on, "You Take My Breath Away"!

And that it did!

I felt like a kid in a candy store a person with a camera in a flower shop! ; )
It was like . . . walking in . . . and finding a little piece of heaven.
 And after the gloominess of the last couple of weeks, it was much needed. So much gorgeous
color and every single petal on every flower was simply perfect, and I snapped my heart away!
Most everything was on tables that were only a foot tall, and if I wanted to get eye level with
 the flowers I was going to have to get down on the ground.

Did I mention that they had just watered? A lot of water?

Yeah, I was pretty much a soggy mess when I left, but hey it's all about the photo op, right?
I did manage to get some very curious looks, and some interesting questions. I even had a lady
pull out her point and shoot camera so I could show her how to work it. I'm afraid I wasn't much help.

It was partly sunny that day and these flowers were inside, but instead of a roof there were
mesh tarps which acted as a wonderful diffuser. I just loved these Osteospermum's and spent so much
time with them that I didn't get to much else. I may have to make a trip back.....

I hope you enjoyed the little piece of heaven I found, and wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Anyone else have Spring Fever?
