This is the view outside my window this morning.
Yes, old man winter has returned.
Yes, old man winter has returned.Fortunately before his arrival we had a few warm days which I tried to take full advantage of by bringing in a few signs of spring.
In my flower bed are two old cement urns that once belonged to my in-laws. I love to change these urns with the seasons. Recently I found two unusual wreaths at the thrift store for a dollar each. I placed them a top each urn and, luckily enough, pots from the nursery fit snug inside the center.
I like the way they resemble birds nests.I planted pansies nestled amongst spanish moss.
And to finish out the display and give it height, I added
beautiful red branches a dear neighbor clipped for me.
Nests, pansies and branches---the perfect spring combination!

Of course I'll vote for you! I am trying NOT to give in to the feelings of Spring fever that are starting to surface. Now that I live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, it is far too soon to go there. But it's hard. We have been having such lovely sunny weather the past couple of weeks. And when I went shopping the other day, every store had their Spring stuff out. I am showing some severe restraint here. Quite proud of myself, really. Have a lovely weekend!
Congratulations - I am definitely voting for you. Love your blog.
Congrats on the award nomination!
I love the idea of putting the twig wreaths on top of the urns so they look like nests. I may have to try that in the future.
Congrats and what an honor . . well deserved! I'll definitely place my vote for your blog. Enjoy your weekend!
Great idea, Joy! They look great and very Spring-like. Like you, we had snow showers this morning {again}, yet "they" are saying we will have 50 degrees on Sunday.
