St. Patrick's Day in Savannah

What a beautiful day for a parade!

Enjoying our VIP viewing area

The Budweiser Clydesdale Horses

And their Dalmation

This unit is called the "Second Time Arounders," an all-senior group from Florida, complete with marching band, drum majors, baton and flag twirlers.  You almost wouldn't notice the demographic until seeing the flag ladies all sporting matching blue fanny packs.  

The Police Pipe and Drum Corp from Florida.  Notice who gets lucky around the 1:00 mark!

A quick bit from some of the many Irish dancers.

Saturday Adventure

This morning we made a trip downtown to set up some flower arrangements for a client about to arrive in town for St. Patrick's Day.  Since it was such a beautiful afternoon, we took our time and enjoyed a stroll through the squares and through Forsyth Park.

Checking out the goldfish in the fountain.

Gorgeous day in Forsyth Park.

Using our senses...

...with a visit to the Fragrant Garden.

Spring Time in Savannah - could it be any more beautiful?

Pretty flowers spotted along our stroll.

View from Monterrey Square.

This weekend marks the 100th Anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America, and hundreds made the pilgrimage to Savannah to see the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low and the carriage house where she started the organization.  Sashes, badges, everywhere!

Back to our "home base," with flowers all set for tomorrow's arrival.

Still Not Happening...

Rice cereal, apple sauce...no thank you!  Better luck next time.

So much for Winter!

We broke two records this week for high temperatures, both in the mid-80s.  Chloe has been out and about enjoying the warm air and checking on our flowers.  Love this one from today, she was mesmerized by the big blue petals.

Merry Belated Christmas!

Recently we started a tradition of having a fun outing in Savannah as a Christmas gift to my parents. Last year we did a Savannah Fun Tours scavenger hunt, and this year we opted for the Chloe-friendly Oatland Island Wildlife Center and lunch at (where else?) Vinnie Van Go-Go's.

The alligators eluded us in the aviary, but Jeff's keen eye caught site of this guy

The turtles arrived on cue, hoping for some handouts.

I'll have my usual slice...

Sporting some borrowed shades, since Mom left mine at home.

Oh, Waitress...  More tea, please!

Back at the Beach

We made it out to Tybee before Jamie and Dan had to fly back home.  A tad chilly, but still a beautiful, sunny day!

So silly!

Aunt Jamie and sassy boots!
