Flower power


February 28 is National Floral Design Day.  It is the birthday of Carl Rittner, a pioneer in foral art education and the founder of the Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston.

Floral design is a true cultural art form, spanning thousands of years. Flowers brighten our days, like this beautiful bouquet John brought home yesterday from the Metropolitan Market.

What a day of weather! Snow in the morning, followed by thunderstorms, more snow and sideways sleet in the afternoon.


 
But Spring gets a big "A" for effort.  The sun is strong when it finally comes out, and there was a flock of robins in the yard yesterday searching for worms and insects.  A cheerful sight.
