It's Finally Spring!
Finally the landscape is beginning to look like in spring.
A few small piles of snow from the last snow storm remain in ditches and on the sides of roads, but in this balmy 60 degree weather, they are destined to melt fast.

Afternoon Sunshine
The world can look pretty dull and boring in March when there is no snow, no fresh green and no blossoms.
Then suddenly, the Big one in the sky breaks through the gray clouds and playfully ams its golden rays on some winter weathered plastic drapes on a ginseng field,
The aesthetics may be debated. But the impact was momentary surprise.

Celebrating the Arrival of Spring
It may be spring on the calendar, but for real outdoor flowers it's much too early. So silky flowers from Michaels have to stand in for them.
Of course, everyone is aware that they are just a symbolic stand in for the real spring flowers..They are there on the outside of this entrance to cheer you on.

Something New and Something Antique
The flowers were at my house already when Elizabeth Williams arrived and showed me this beautiful antique (looking) doily. It seemed to go perfectly with the flowers (probably because flowers are timeless).
It is hard to imagine how much time and effort must have gone into producing such a delicate and intricate item by hand, but women did this type of work many years ago..
Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing this Beauty with me.
( I thought I had posted this pic before and searched for it, but could not find it. If anyone of you can find it, I will remove this pic.)
