This time of year is much about waiting. Waiting to start digging in the garden; waiting for the trees to burst out in a thousand shades of green; waiting for blossoms, pink, white, red; waiting for warmer days.......and nights; waiting to get out and walk off the Winter cobwebs (if you're not one of those amazing "walk in any weather" people); waiting to sit on the front porch with a steaming mug of morning coffee and see the sun come up; then back in the afternoon with a cup of fragrant Earl Grey tea...........................................and then, before you know it, the evenings are warm enough to actually enjoy a sunset aperitif outdoors before dinner!!
I love my front porch and will share pictures soon - meanwhile this is a Spring morning at my childhood home in Devon, complete with rainbow over distant Dartmoor.
I'm missing home - always do in Springtime - it arrives early, the hedgerows smothered in pale yellow primroses - followed by hidden bluebell woods, home of fairies I'm sure!
"Oh to be in England now that Spring is here".

Not that I don't like Winter, I really do, especially since moving to North Carolina! I must live where there are four distinct seasons - and I really enjoy each one for the beauty it brings. Today I made my "art pal" in the snowy Northwest a Spring surprise box. She loves tassels and music so I'm hoping she'll enjoy this one. Made use of fabrics I had - decorated an empty chocolate box - added some tags (I love making tags). Will send it on its merry way tomorrow!

You made such a beautiful gift! It's lovely and I'm sure your friend will appreciate it very much. And I'm with you, I'm very much looking forward to going out to the front porch in the morning with my cup of coffee and my home magazines (on the weekends that is). Wish I could do it every day. You'll be able to be on the front porch a bit earlier than me judging by your earlier pictures. It's still snow, snow, snow here. Looking forward to spring.
