Spring has finally sprung and it is lovely.

I’ve loved anemones for a long time, but they’re a little too pricy as cut flowers for me to indulge – last year I saw a bag of starts for them and scooped them up. It looks like they might be purple or blue and I can hardly wait to see them! Now I’ll get to enjoy them spring after spring, year after year, and maybe as they spread, be able to divide them and share? pinky orange tulips – another new one from last fall. I’m looking forward to seeing what color they turn out to be :) faithful daffodils – I planted these the first fall we were here and they’ve been multiplying ever since. Always so cheery! pots of seeds! hopefully the seedlings will show their heads soon :)sunny daffodils keeping the candles on our table company :)

Has spring come to your neck of the woods? Or, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, have you been embracing cooler temps? How do you celebrate the changing seasons?

I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing the trees blooming – of course the trees at my parents’ home in California bloomed quite some time ago and I’ve also been seeing some bloggers’ photos of snow. :) Your location sure does make a difference!
