Spring Fling

Spring has officially sprung!

I hope you are enjoying spring-like weather in your neck of the woods! Today was a beautiful day here so I celebrated by flinging off our dark, heavy comforter and exchanged it for something a little lighter...a beautiful cream colored quilt my mom made! She does custom quilts and her work is just breathtaking!

And since I love crochet too, these pretty beribboned pillow shams were right up my alley...



After making my bed, I took a walk out in the sunshine to see what the garden was up to...

(baby elephant ears peeking out from a long winter's nap)

(the first delicious smelling rosebud of the season)

(the guard-en cat~keeping a watchful eye out for intruders and keeping mommy company)

(the fig tree is in bloom~I can't wait for another bumper crop!)

(the newest member of our plant family~a pretty zinnia waiting to be potted up and BLOOM!)

I managed to plant some

bulbs~dutch iris, holleyhock and the lightest, laciest, airiest

{are those words?} daffodils~

some assorted flower seeds and nasturtiums. I am crossing my fingers that they will GROW!

Please share how you are welcoming spring!
