Thinking of Spring and Beyond!

March 12, 2015 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

“Spring will come and so will happiness. Hold on. Life will get warmer.”

~Anita Krizzan

Good morning! Do you feel a little Spring in the air? OR a spring in your step? Have you seen any signs of Spring in your area? 

We are starting to warm up, yesterday it was 70 and already humid. Do not get me wrong, I am not complaining but humidity already? 

Yesterday on my morning walk I saw a few Crocus’s poking up out of the soil and I have to tell you it made me smile! It has been a long, weird, cold, crazy winter and I know I am not alone when I express those sentiments. Although I am not a huge fan of Summer I am actually longing for lazy days at the ocean with my feet in the sand or days out on my paddle board.

I guess it is true what they say, our tastes do change as we age. 

Tell me what are your plans for Spring? Summer? Are you already making plans for your garden and your vacation? Or do you tend to take things one day at a time and plan accordingly?

I have my list of plants for my containers, mostly hydrangeas and geraniums as they seem to do the best in the summer heat here in the South. As for my holiday plans this year we have many small trips in the states and a few overseas which will keep us busy and give me something to look forward too!

Tell me what are you up to these days? Are you counting the days until Spring in the hopes that it magically appears or have you already moved on to wishing for the warm hot weather of Summer?

Whatever the case I hope that you have a great day! Only two more days until Friday!

    Here there is very slow melting of snow, and skating on the Rideau Canal has come to an end.

    Such pretty photos – look like botanical studies! I'm happy it's warming up because winter was soooo long and frigid. And happy for the longer days! Cheers

    Well down here in Australia we're deeply entrenched in the hot, steamy weather of Summer….though it's actually Autumn and should be cooler!!!! So we are longing for cool days, some chilly winds, even crisp, freezing Wintry mornings sparkling with frosty grasses and a bright blue sky!! Soon, soon!

    In the meantime I am planning a new garden too….planting it in the Autumn which may be risky but…

    I'm planting white hydrangeas, native Australian shrubs and ground cover, hippeastrums and crucifix orchids! Colour scheme…black, white and green!

    Can't wait!!

    Ciao

    Honestly, I can't wait to get my hands in the dirt and start my first vegetable garden in this house, but here in Northern Arizona, we have to wait until after Mother's Day for fear of frost.

    Your pictures are lovely. Thank you 🙂

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
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
