It seems like every year, winter gets longer and more unbearable, and the arrival of spring brings more relief and joy and excitement than ever. Here are a few quick pictures of spring at my house; little things that are making me so happy this week!
A gorgeous hyacinth plant that I stuck in the ground on a whim last year; I forgot all about it until it popped up this spring! I wish I could send the beautiful scent through this picture.
S snapped a picture of me adjusting the flower bed rocks. I’m obsessed with straw hats this spring. This one is from a random flea market in Orlando.
We put out our lawn furniture and I’ve already eaten lunch there on one of the warmer afternoons while G napped.
A gorgeous forsythia bush in full bloom.
Another flower bed full of tulips and other pretty surprises.
More golden forsythia bushes.
Little Hosta plants are popping their heads up all over this hill.
I was just remarking a week ago that there were no buds on the trees (that I could see), and now they are budding to the brim! Also, that beautiful blue sky.
I re-potted a bunch of our overgrown house plants this week, including an aloe plant that was so root bound I’m surprised it was still alive! I love these little aloes in pretty old tea canisters to sit in our kitchen.

You are such a talented girl… And I love how you notice and appreciate the little things that many take for granted.
