The Delights of Spring

 

Spring is sometimes a long time in coming to New England. 

Temps one day may be very warm and one is tempted to throw the winter sweaters and socks into storage.

But the next day, it's so chilly that putting the heat on once again seems like the best idea of all.

Mother Nature can be fickle.  

However, when a tree is filled with beautiful flowers and tulips plus other flowers start to bloom, hope springs eternal that spring will stick around.

The flowering tree shown at the top of this post decorates the front of a local bank.  

It is so pretty in the afternoon sunlight.

Inside one of my sisters' houses, colorful tulips look majestic in a vase.

In another room, a pink floral bouquet brightens everything.

Please, no more snow or bone-chilling temperatures as they are  part of past winter. 

Bring on the blossoms of spring flowers and budding branches of soon-to-be blooming trees and shrubs.

WHAT ARE SOME SURE SIGNS OF SPRING WHERE YOU LIVE?

Privacy Plant...

Thank goodness for plants!

There is a big (artificial but real-looking) one, here in the small apartment, that comes in handy on a daily basis.

I gently plop it in front of the entrance door when privacy is called for. 

It's great and works perfectly.  I love it!

Like we always say, it's the little things in life that count.

Angel Place Setting...

Isn't this the sweetest angel place setting?

There are actually four of them on the table of one of my sisters.

When spotted, they automatically make a person smile.

The little votive candles just add another sweet touch to the angel girls.

Hopefully, your day has been touched by the angels and here's hoping your night will be, too!

DO YOU USE PLACE SETTINGS AT YOUR OWN TABLE?
