It is such a nice day here and I am bringing spring into our home today. I'm changing my dining room- dishes, accessories and putting out a pretty spring table cloth. I'm going to change the wreath in the sun room to my spring and summer wreath. Also I have some lighter scented candles. Even the mailbox cover is going spring! I love the winter time but now that it's a little warmer here today I realize I am so ready for spring!
Decorating for spring!!

I changed out my dishes this week and deocrated my Easter Tree. I just wish I were a yard person because I do love flowers, but when it comes to warm weather, I stay in doors. Have a horrible phobia of snakes, and have trouble just walking to our mailbox in the spring and summer. It's not so bad if someone is with me, or things are real wide open, can be disabeling at times.
I'm glad spring is almost here. I am ready to take down the dark, heavy curtains and put away the heavy throws and comforters, open all the windows and just let in some natural light and fresh air. I wait for the mornings when I can go out on my balcony and watch the sun rise- so peaceful.
I don't really do much decorating for spring anymore, however I would really like to bring in some fresh flowers. I do believe the blooms are going to be very beautiful this year with the winter we've had.

We also are experiencing spring like weather. Crocuses have been up for several days but refused to open until basking in sunshine which we finally have had this week. Daffodils and tulips are up and teasing with their full developing blossom heads as well. Yesterday I started removing some of the winterizing layers that have kept us warm for the past few months. It was refreshing to have a flow of fresh air.
Now I am definitely ready to decorate for Easter. Since my sons are grown I only decorate the top of a small bookshelf in our hallway. I usually display my childhood Easter basket along with some very old seasonal figurines. If I don't have time to do this tomorrow it is on my to-do list for Saturday.

I hope to do some this weekend.. Take down the velvet drapes and put up my linen ones.. I have Easter stuff to put out and cant wait to keep the windows open and turn off the furnace... I also need to change out our bedding from a dark heavy quilt to a lighter springier one.... Now if I could shed about 60 pounds off of me.. I would be in HEAVEN !!!
The frosted/ice looking wreath on the front door looked strangely out of place the other day when temps were nearing 70 degrees so I took it down. I don't have anything to replace it with so for now I'll wait. I doubt we'll put out anything Easter this year as we don't have any where to put it until we get organized. I am really looking forward to opening all the windows! And, DH said we could put a screen door on the back door so I'm looking forward to alot of fresh air from that.
Dakotasmamaw I feel you on losing the pounds. I'm trying to lay of the sugary stuff. It's been tough let me tell you.
We are expecting rain all weekend. So I've decided to take this as an opportunity to start decorating for spring.
Oh, Belles! I hear you! I'm terrified of snakes, too, and I'm in East TN -- we've probably seen the same snakes!! I love to plant flowers, but I don't work in them unless my husband is here, and preferably outside with me! When I walk in the back yard, my eyes hardly ever leave the ground -- they kind of sweep from side-to-side and in front of me. you're right -- it is debilitating, but I don't even want to think about what you have to go through to cure it!!
I think I should take the snowman off my backdoor! Right now it look like my kit/din rooms have thrown up bunnie and easter eggs!!
