Artful Journey

Interspersed between the 30 million blooms at Epcot were absolutely incredible topiaries. These are among my favorites. What's not to sing about when you are at Disney? The Three Caballeros I loved the colors in this one. The characters look so happy. Yay for Springtime! Happy Easter! With the Beauty and the Beast  movie coming out, there was a definite homage to the characters. I love that Cogsworth is dancing! Lumiere and Cogsworth Let's dance, shall we... Beauty and the Beast It wasn't all romance though... Dragon in the Water... Even the tongue was made of flowers. Those were just a small sampling of the Topiaries scattered throughout Epcot. Incredible doesn't begin to describe it. If you are ever thinking of going to Disney, the Annual Flower Show elevates the experience to a higher level. Disneyworld is celebrating their 50 year Anniversary in 5 years. There is construction going on throughout the entire complex..it's on...

Spring is here, and it's in full bloom at the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. I love spring, when the flowers are starting to emerge from the ground. My dad was a landscaper, so I grew up around gardens and flowers. We would joke that we could smell the pansies coming in on the trucks and we would be the first gardeners there.  I was excited with the advent of spring, but even more so when my daughters surprised me with a mother's day/birthday gift to Disney World. What an amazing gift! Panorama at Epcot Epcot was brimming with color, topiaries, flowers, and charming vistas...beauty in every direction. Just a touch of color A butterfly garden... And of course there was Tea... Time for a Cuppa You would think this was as good as it gets. But no, the piece de resistance had to be afternoon tea at  Garden View Tea Room at the Grand Floridian. No wonder they say Grand! I have been lucky enough to enjoy tea parties with the girls and...

Usually my family refers to me as Annie Upper or Pollyanna. They love to tell me that I think it's all sunshine and roses. I must admit I am a glass full type of person. Yesterday was one of those days, where someone took my glass of water, spit in it, and then smashed it to the floor. Now, I am also a person who wears my ❤️ on my sleeve, and a poker face is something I will never master. Well, alarm bells went out that Mom seems sad. Daisies are such a happy flower. It wasn't too long before my son showed up with a bouquet of  flowers as a pick me up.  Last night, Fi and Nish took me to Beauty and the Beast, totally a mood lifter. That inspired my instagram post today. Beauty and the Beast. Art makes me happy! Today, Onz called from London, saying we needed to do an exercise video together on what's app. I followed that up with one of my favorite treats, a Russell Stover whipped strawberry egg. A walk with a good friend, who had an extra recycle barrel...

I love books...and the cover art on this one left me feeling good all day!
