Today is Cincinnati Flower Show day. Mary warns me that the flower show is a mere shadow of its former self. Interesting that as more people seem to be gardening, flower shows are declining. Chicago’s show is pretty poor these days and Cincinnati’s isn’t a whole lot better. There are some interesting container ideas, the dinner settings (standard for flower shows, it seems) are totally outrageous and devoid of ideas one could use at home, the flower display are okay but not outstanding. The vendors are profuse and it doesn’t seem that you have to have any connection with gardens or gardening to be a vendor at the flower show. At least in Chicago most of them have some connection to gardening. The setting is lovely however and the weather is warm. We stay for lunch, which is excellent. Luckily Mary made reservations a few weeks ago.
For dinner we go to a funky place on the Licking River called Knotty Pine on the Bayou. Imagine if you will a country bar with grossly uneven floors serving Cajun food. More customers than there are tables. Lots of noise (very hard to carry on a conversation). I wonder if it’s in roadfood.com, because it seems like a likely candidate.
