L.E.A.F. Flower Show In NYC!

This past spring I went to my very first LEAF flower show in the city. I have never been to one and oh my goodness was it the best. So many flower displays everywhere from different florists and vendors. It was held at the meat packing district and it only went on throughout the weekend. So glad I didn't miss it! 

I brought Noah with me and he thought the flowers were so pretty. I will remind him that flowers bring light and joy to someones life especially when they are going through a rough patch. I also mentioned they are a nice gesture to give on occasion such as your first date and mothers day! He's always so sweet to pick flowers for me when signs of spring arrive and when we go on walks. He's 11.5 years old and he will still do that. So hopefully with all the reminders and examples we have shown him throughout his young years that he will remember to do that as he grows older. 

Now for some colorful and awesome photos from this beautiful crowded event! 

What We Saw In NYC!

In spite of Covid nothing stops us from venturing out and lately there has been so much to look and see in the city  and luckily we live close enough to where we can just hop on a train or get in our car and go. I love the art installations and the flower flashes that have been displayed lately. There's never a shortage of things to see or do in New York city and after watching "Pretend It's a City" just makes me want to live in it and visit it even more. I've gotten so used to the nuances of the city that I feel sometimes as if I actually could live there. Maybe some day but for now we are lucky enough to travel a short distance (yes...75 minutes on the turnpike is a short distance for me!) and arrive safely to our favorite city in the world!

A Flower Flash In Remembrance of 9/11.

Often times I'll go walking in the city and spot what you call a flower flash. Now mind you I never knew about these because I wasn't aware of the person behind such a brilliant and unique idea of displaying flowers in NYC, but when I finally started following Lewis Miller Design on Instagram is when I get the beets on when and where they were displayed. His recent flower flashed was made on behalf of those who lost their lives on 9/11. His kindness and thoughtfulness in expressing his love and gratitude for those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 is admirable and contagious. I love that he does this no matter what day it is. And sometimes he just displays flower flashes randomly just because. To see flowers on display like this in the city is something I would love to take home! So happy to see these flower flashes on fifth avenue. They truly are inspiring and can truly uplift someone and bring sunshine on their dark days! Particularly our heroes families who died on September 11th.

A Flower Flash In Honor Of Our Health Care Workers In NYC!

We've had a lot of rainy days lately but when the days are sunny and the skies are blue there is nothing more beautiful than to see various colors of flowers especially on the streets of New York City. This flower flash was done by the famous Lewis Miller who does surprise flower flashes all over Manhattan. This one was dedicated to all the health workers who are in harms way working endlessly assisting those who are affected by the virus. I applaud them for their bravery and strength to be on the frontline of this epidemic. My husband does not work in the medical field but he is a city driver for UPS and delivers packages to medical suppliers among other clients. He's in the midst of it too, but doesn't work as close as medical personnel do. Still, I'm praying for my neighboring city and the entire world that we will keep fighting this hard fight. That a vaccine will be in the works soon. That life in the cities all over the world will soon get back to normal. That this silent killer will go away. It is the first day of April and there is no fooling here. Hoping that this month will bring more hope than difficulty and that these flowers along with spring covering the earth will bring smiles to all our faces. 

We are in this together!
