A WALK THRU THE DAFFODILS

"In spite of cold and chills

That usher in the early spring 

We have the daffodils."

"Yellow, yellow daffodils

You're dancing in the sun.

Yellow, yellow daffodils

You tell me spring has come." 

                                --author unknown

"Spring comes hurrying

Over the hill

Phoning the news

Through a daffodil."

              --author unknown

"A little yellow cup

A little yellow frill

A little yellow star

And that's a daffodil."

            --author unknown

I hope you enjoyed a walk through the daffodils with me.

HAPPY SPRING!

CRAVING GREEN

Winter is supposed to be waning, but...I think someone forgot to tell winter to move on.  With temperatures in the Midwest and beyond, cancelling schools because of 

chill factors well below 0, I find myself 

craving some green...

some sign of Spring somewhere!

Please just a sprig of green!  

Well, okay...maybe just a bit more than a sprig but then, we've had more than just a touch of winter too!

I'm craving a green that plays well with all colors.

It just gives a bit of hope to hang on 

through these wintery days.

Oh, just let me sit and imagine the sun on my face and a book in my hands on a fresh Spring day!

I imagine the sun shining like a million crystals, reflecting light everywhere!

Sunshine, glorious sunshine raining down and warming everything!

An Easter Parade, Part 1

There's a party that I want to go to and the appropriate attire for the party is a portfolio of a mantle dressed for Spring.  Spring is the Lenten Season for my home and my mantle displays the three crosses.

I left the silver bunnies from my St. Patrick's mantle  and added the crosses.  The plates were added behind the two secondary crosses for focus and color.  The bunnies at the foot of the main cross repeat the color scheme.

Wish I'd straighten the book before shooting the picture!

As always, thanks for reading.

P.S.  I like to respond to all comments.  I get them to my email account and hit "reply"--if you don't have an email associated with your comment, I cannot reply.  Just a thought to ponder.  I understand someone not wanting to be that public, but I love a good conversation and that can't happen without your email.
