Today feels like spring!  Finally!

We haven’t managed to keep the sun shining…but I can’t complain when it’s 60 degrees!!

I even got a chance to get outside and play in the yard a bit.

I thought it would be fun today to revisit a popular post from last year….

This shabby spring window sings spring and the little birdies make me happy.   Right now, my window is slightly open and I can hear birdsong.  It’s the most wonderful thing.  After a long winter, it’s music to my ears!!

Here’s a glimpse of what was extraordinary on the blog this past week….

My Picks….

I’m loving the fresh crisp colors and patterns for this wonderful race-day tablescape.
Whether it’s for watching the upcoming Kentucky Derby or a steeplechase, you’ll want to take cues
for your gathering from this vibrant display from Ashley of 3 Little Greenwoods.
She also made a front door wreath in the same theme.
