So much rain and now a covering of snow this morning.
I needed some spring to lighten my heart.
I'm so pleased that I had brought some Forsythia into the house.
A shrub had been damaged during the storm so I cut a few branches
and put them in a vase near the window. With the warmth inside
and the light it didn't take too long for the flowers to open.
Our weather forecast had shown, sun and a rise in temperature, however it
didn't happen. It's been cold & we've had sleet falling on and off all day.
This lovely bright spring yellow, has certainly cheered me up
I've been browsing through my Edith Holden, Edwardian Lady books.
Nature notes 1905 and Country Diary 1906
She painted some lovely illustrations for both these books .
I've had them for a long time and only ever looked at the pictures.
Now I'm painting again they've given me inspiration.
Reading the daily entries in the diary is so interesting,
not unlike the way the weather has been so far this year.
If you like, nature, birds and wild flowers
these books are lovely to have.
I also picked a few catkins,
when we were children we called them Lambs tails.
On my last visit to Denmark I bought myself this slate tray.
Just right to display a few bits & pieces.
I made this card,
just For You.
Have you brought a little early Spring into your home yet.
Try something, especially if you have snow, it made me feel happy.
Until the next time.
à bientôt
