Spring!

This is the first weekend that felt like spring.  The sun is shining, the large amounts of snow are melting and I got inspired to make my house feel like spring. 

It started with the opening of Wellington.  Wellington is closed from January until the end of March and I was thrilled.  They have an antique garden urn from Versailles!!  It is beautiful and I got to touch it.  If I had a lot of cash lying around I would be showing it, but it is beyond my budget. 

I didn't walk out empty handed.  I bought a small garden urn for my coffee table.  It is a soft colour & will fit a small plant. Right now some it's holding some eggs.


I can't bring myself to take the tag off yet.


I found the eggs in a dollar store about 4 years ago.  Just iridescent glass with a coloured feather inside. 



I noticed while getting organized for spring my myrtle was looking a little..... well crazy.



Haircut time!  Myrtles can have a trim back to their topiary shape without any harm.  The leaves smell like lemon scented pine trees when cut. The result is always worth it.



I made the mistake when I was getting groceries at Walmart to go into the greenhouse.  I don't need another plant but I couldn't leave it there.


It says spring.



Such a beautiful pink.  So perfect together.


I hope you felt like spring is coming this weekend too.  If it snows tomorrow (god forbid!) it will feel like spring inside.

Until next time,
Patricia
