Signs of Spring

I know many of you are still knee deep in snow but I wanted to show you some early signs of spring in my side yard this afternoon.

My azaleas are blooming!  

Also, I’ve been doing some Easter decorating and will share that soon.    Here’s a little peek at what’s going on…

I’m really into green this year and have been incorporating it throughout the house.    I bought some gorgeous green velvet sofa pillows today and a pretty green lantern.     I can’t wait to show it all to you!

Don’t forget to “spring forward” tonight!

    I went for a walk today while our snow was melting, Judy, and I was looking for signs of buds on bushes and trees. Nothing yet, but I did see some of the green stems coming up for Daffodils. Your mantel looks very Springy! Love how you've incorporated the books into it all, too.

    Very pretty Judy! We had about 9 inches of snow fall yesterday, and today it's almost all gone.

    Judy...aren't you lucky to have some blooms already. It was 60 degrees here in VA today. My kids wore shorts. I love green, too.

    Oh you are so lucky!! I want to see some signs of Spring in my neck of the woods. Hopefully soon! Seems like it has been the longest winter ever. Your Easter decor looks beautiful, Judy! xo

    I love green in the home too. Spring green is best. I love living in the South where Spring is always early. xo

    So pretty! I love your old books on the mantel. I don't think our azaleas have started blooming yet. We were fortunate to have pretty weather this weekend though. Got some pressure washing done outside too. You sure can't do that in the snow. Guess I should be glad we aren't buried in snow as some people are!
