"Blooming 'Brella" and Friends

I've been bringing out some "Spring" around here this last week. It will be "Spring" until the end of March and then I'll get together some Easter decor. I really prefer Easter being in April, otherwise it's just too chilly and I like being able to enjoy both early Spring and then Easter. I know there's a fine line, but rabbits and bunnies, chickens, eggs and nests can do double duty... do I sound like a crazy old woman who doesn't have anything else to do except chit chat about seasonal decor items? please don't answer that.

  





It does my whole body and soul good to just think about the change of seasons. I'm always ready for whatever comes along next, I cannot imagine what it would be like to live someplace where it was the same thing each week of the year.

That's not to say I don't get really tired of the cold and heat, but I really would be bored if it was gorgeous and 72 degrees everyday of the year. (I know, some of you have that and it works for you) I love a big fluffy snow as much as I do an afternoon on a raft at the lake. Keeps things from being too "perfect".

Do you remember this vintage umbrella from a few years ago?

I don't think I've used it here at this house, 

I had it in the kitchen on the dish cupboard at the lease house

and it really brightened up those first long days over there.

I "fluffed" it a little bit and added a new little peep.

He was peeking out of a cute little galvanized tin

my sis gave me for my B'Day.

I thought he'd add some "cute" to the mix.

One of our favorite sayings around here 

is if something is just too cute,

then you just want to "eat it right up".

I want to eat this little guy right up!

This is one of my favorite Spring pillows

that I found a few years ago in Ozark.

too. dang. cute.

He's a little too big to eat,

I might choke on the burlap and the stuffing fluff.

(can you tell I've been trapped in the house for too long?)

don't you love that brown floral fabric as a backdrop?

Brown is a color I love for early Spring.

very "earthy" and "loamy" and digging in the dirt...

I've been working on the newly painted little wagon on the Dining Room table.

I'm covered in moss, and I've clogged up my hand held vac.

but it's really really looking like Spring!

p.s. it's supposed to snow here in about an hour...groan.
