Happy Spring!!

There’s something about that first break in the weather in spring that makes you want to dance around in the yard and sing songs from The Sound of Music.  What… you don’t?  Huh… Well even if you aren’t singing, the windows are open, the air smells delicious and it is virtually impossible not to have a smile on your face.  I adore Spring.  It’s really a toss up between Fall as my favorite season, Spring has the flowers but Fall has leaves.  I adore flowers and Spring flowers are my favorite.  I love daffodils, violets, tulips, lilacs… the flowers you think of when you think of Spring.  The bummer of it is that most of those flowers don’t make it to weddings because they are fragile and have a short season.  I still keep hoping though that maybe someday someone will shock me with a violet bouquet.  Imagine how divine that would smell!!  AH!

Here’s some snaps I took yesterday when drinking in the new Spring scent in the backyard, I hope they bring a smile to your face like they do mine!

Random blossom in the grass…

I love violets and love that they are randomly scattered around our yard.  When I was little my Dad used to pick them and leave them for me on my dresser at night so I would have them to wake up to.

Another favorite is the Double Daffodils that are growing around our house.  My grandparents brought them back from Holland when visiting family along with some tulips.  Sadly the tulips are not still blooming but these are and they always bring a smile to my face.  These were my Mom’s FAVORITES.  I like them but I prefer the single daffodils – those are MY favorites.
