{on the road to Spring.......}

as much as I dislike saying goodbye to all the

 sweet pink and red hearts

I am excited to be on a new road.....

the road to Spring

our weather has been very springlike

 our heather is in blossom

and my neighbour's flowering bush has

popped it's blooms

I am thinking sweet spring colours

happy ginghams

little bunnies and chicks

darling spring dresses

Is it too early to be on this path?

{the birds outside my window don't think so}

blooming blossoms on the brain

seeing I have

blossoms on the brain

{see previous post}

and none are blooming outside my window
I decided to make some.......

because I cut multiples of flowers at once

this project took me minutes to do

every time I walk pass my blooms

I can't help but

smile

{a peek back at Spring to be reminded that...}

There's more to

life than simply

crossing things off our

TO-DO list.

{my response.....happy...happy ...happy}

which got me thinking about
spring bunnies & chicks

{my response....happy}

*

which got me thinking about

the term

"spring chicken"

{my response....???worry}

*

which got me wondering about

at what age

are you no longer

classified as a

"spring chicken"?

{my response... unhappy}

*

which got me searching for

my husband to ask him

the answer to

this question

{i know what you are thinking... big mistake}

{my response......unhappiness mixed with anger...he could of stretched the truth just a bit}

*

which got me thinking about

a quote I once read

{my response...starting to calm a bit}

*

which led me to

share this quote...

Women are most fascinating

between the ages of 35 and 40

after they have won a few races

and

know how to pace themselves.

Since few women ever pass

40

maximum fascination can

continue indefinitely

{Christian Dior}

{my response....happy}

*

which left me with this

conclusion

it's not about a number

but

about how you feel

and yes.....

I still feel like a spring chicken!

{my response....happy ....happy....happy}

*

wishing all you

" Spring Chickens"

a happy sweet day

cherry blossoms

{one of my favourite flowers}

In Japan

cherry blossoms are a

metaphor for

life

a brief brilliant blooming

beautiful yet fleeting

Here is the test to find

whether or not

your mission on earth is

finished:

If you are alive,

it isn't

just something to think about today

as you get caught up in the speed of the day

{Checking my Calender.....can it be?}

spring fever n : a lazy or restless feeling often

associated with the onset of spring

*

this is my sweet sweet world right now

all blossoms and blooms

the trees have exploded

like popcorn

*

I do not dare to blink

as I am afraid I'll miss

the wonder/beauty of it all

*sigh*

*

i really think my calender has it all wrong this year

....for spring has decided to visit my corner of life right now

NO BLINKING ALLOWED!

{did you know?....tea made from pansy leaves cures heartbreak}

in season......

i love the month of May for many reasons.....

a major one being...this is when our local farmer's market starts up...

which means fresh veggies....fruits.....and flowers are now available until well into September...

i made my first Saturday morning trip today.... all the first of the season's produce is so amazingly gorgeous...a beautiful bright bounty of colors...so here is a peek at what i brought home...

spring lilacs and tulips bouquet


a bunch of beautiful colored radishes....not my favorite but couldn't resist the colors...

yes...another bouquet...just couldn't say no to white lilacs (wish i had a bush}....they were dirt cheap

yummy spring rhubarb for a delicious rhubarb cake that i only make in the spring..

bunches of fresh spinach....

red and orange peppers....

i gather them all up altogether....
and
as i was leaving these were calling my name....



fresh cranberry scones.... and cinnamon bread......
it's not all about fruits and veggies in my home!!
hope you have a farmer's market in your area that you can enjoy....


{just in case you are wondering....i have decide to keep the pretty aqua lamp...most of you were so adamant on the fact that it should stay...i did take it away for a day and totally missed it so knew it was a keeper ....thanks for that idea Lottie....you all were such wonderful help..... i knew i could count on you! xoxo..... and husband still has not noticed???!}
