Pretty Little Spring Garland

It all started with these pretty little flowers. I’ve used these cute things for many years. They’ve been baby hat accents. They’ve been hair clips. They’ve been key fobs.

But this time, I have bigger, better plans…

that include a bunch of green leaves…

and some colorful baby birdies.

Put them all together…

and you get

the sweetest little Spring garland that you’ve ever seen!!

Happy Spring everyone!!

 

Nearly Summer Snow

A few days ago we woke up to some crazy rain. I mean, like torrents of rain.  For 4 or 5 minutes it even turned to hail. I was amazed that it wasn’t even all that cold outside…just wet. We found this odd pile of hail in one spot on the lawn that must have slid off the roof or something.

ANYway, the best part of all this moisture is…

what it does to our mountains.

Oooooh.

Not bad for nearly June–right?

Such a brave, beautiful little thing, popping up right in the middle of the lawn. I guess it’s an April-showers-bring-May-flowers sort of thing.

I just thought somebody had to plant them first.

Happily, I was wrong.
