Spring Artistry


Spring has arrived. 
The sun is shining. 
There is just a slight chill in the air.

It truly has been the perfect first day of Spring.  I spent a bit of time this afternoon walking around looking for surprises.   While Winter took many favorites with her, Spring is busy sweeping up the scraps, collecting snippets, opening her paint pots and creating magic.

If you find yourself under snow this first day of Spring, I leave you with a 
preview of her amazing artistry headed your way...
I promise!








Today my Spring Break begins.  I plan of spending time in the garden,
with friends and family and possibly a book or two.

    Your spring is very advanced, compared to Central Virginia! What is that first flower, tho? a lovely color for early spring ... a tiny iris, maybe? fancy crocus?

    Have a lovely break. After that, it's downhill all the way to June.

    Oh my, your Lenten Roses are blooming. I must go out tomorrow and see how mine are doing now that all the snow has melted. You give me something to hope about.

    Your posts are always the most hopeful, sweetest, and positive I read.

    Our English spring is warming up nicely... but we'll need a lot of sunshine to dry up all the horrendous winter floods! Lovely images here, with so many little promises for those who are still shivering in the freezing snow. Thank you for sharing :o)

    Our only sign of spring, so far, is the melting snow. I can't wait to see that color rise from the earth.

    Best,
    Bonnie

    I really like your first picture – the flowers rushing out of the soil. It certainly is announcing that spring is here.
