There are so many wonderful things to see and do in Fort Collins. It is almost impossible to choose the best place to visit, but Todd did and he took pictures.
Let's begin with when the heck is Mother's Day, a question I hear all of the time. This year it falls on Sunday, May 11, 2014. Mother's Day is celebrated around the world and is always the second Sunday of May in the United States. What does mom really want for Mother's Day, whether you're from Colorado or New York, it'll be the same.
The eggs in the beautiful hanging basket outside Todd Harding's front door have finally hatched. We have pictures, but CAUTION: Newborn Baby Birds Without Feathers are Scary Looking. View at your own risk.
My wife Jenny's parents bought us this beautiful hanging basket just a couple weeks ago. They are Calibrachoa, not Petunias, but what else is in that flower pot?
I love flowers and offer try to pretend that I am a great landscape design architect-I'm not. But, I have fun planting and it grounds me with peace and calm. Plus it looks Pretty.
Every Mothers Day I hit the nursery and spend way too much time and money (thank you honey) on the perfect assortment of flowers and greenery for my annual flower pot on my porch. There is something to be said of traditions, they warm the heart.
One of the greatest traditions I remember being taught by my grandmother was May Day. I love the thought of random acts of kindness and don't even care if it may seem to some as a forced day of kindness like Valentines is a force day of love and Thanksgiving is a forced day to gorge yourself to the point of needing sweat pants.
The Annual Flower Trial Gardens at Colorado State University are one of the true gems in Northern Colorado. Next to the breweries and the main CSU campus, it is likely the most visited spot in Fort Collins. My wife and I visited recently and I captured a few shots on my iPhone.
Today is "Water a Flower Day", as is every May 30th. Why couldn't we have celebrated that holiday last week? That's when my Wife left town for a week and left me in charge of the plants. While she was gone, I killed her Pansies! Today is a holiday that could have saved them.
It's not always easy to find the cash to send mom flowers, money can be tight. So, as a mom who may like flowers on mom's day, I have found a great way to get flowers at an affordable price.
