Spring Flowers

March 20, 2014 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

“No matter how long the Winter, Spring is sure to follow.”

Good morning! Can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of Spring? Does it even feel like it where you live? Have you seen any crocus popping out of the ground? Or any other Spring flowers?

I have yet to see a sign of Spring other than it staying light longer. I guess I will just have to wait a few more weeks but I am sure that it is coming.  

Yesterday I read that more people have been affected by SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder than ever before.Really? I hope that they did not pay a lot for that study because I think you could walk down the street of any city this year and about 99% of the people would have said they were sick and tired of the endless winter. 

 I know I was suffering from a little of this myself this year that is why I have been looking for ways to brighten the house and my mood. I find a bouquet of flowers does it every time. 

Although there are no daffodils outside yet they are currently in the stores and at the flower shops. A little burst of sunshine in the house and a great way to lift your spirits don’t you think? Do you have a favorite Spring flower?

What are you doing around your own house to bring a little Spring in? Perhaps you are one of the lucky ones and you are seeing a few cherry blossoms or azaleas?

As I said we are not seeing anything yet but that has not stopped us from stocking up on Spring bulbs. So far the ones we have planted are doing fabulous!

I wish you are wonderful, sunny, Spring like day! Enjoy!

    Beautiful shots, Elizabeth!

    I love the winter, so I have no problem with it. It still feels very much like winter, with a snow pack still established, but there are signs. Like chipmunks dashing about.

  • Do you have a favorite cookie? I have never really had a favorite cookie. But my youngest daughter, Kelsi, really enjoys a good Peanut Butter Cookie and she swears that these are the best cookie I make! My husband and I were talking today and we were wondering why Peanut Butter cookies have the little fork "hashtag" mark on them. According to Spoon University, " In 1936 a Pillsbury recipe called for the fork marks for Peanut Butter Cookies but gave no explanation as to why."&nbs…

Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
