Early Spring Hideaway

Spring is starting to show up. The bulbs I planted in October are slowly pushing up green shoots and we have had a couple of gorgeous blue sky days already. I woke up this morning to perfectly iconic Northwest weather -- snow was coming down and coating everything in sight just daring me to have a happy St. Patrick's Day.

I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood and was well rewarded.As I rounded the corner onto a trail I like to take, I took notice of a little corner of springtime color already blooming. Despite the snow bright color stood out against the sky, boldly proclaiming to everyone within sight that spring is coming, even if today is not that day.

It's not a real bird out there in the snow...yes I checked!

I love this little corner of my neighborhood. It's a reminder that beauty and creativity are everywhere. I am so thankful that my sweet neighbors are willing to share their creative spirit and bring a little joy to the neighborhood. They are such an inspiration to me.

I thought the way the Easter eggs were strung were very creative and might be a fun idea for a springtime wedding.

This time of year always reminds me that change is coming. That change is inevitable and good. That I need to learn to embrace the new and jump in with both feet. I love that no matter the season in my life, no matter what the weather, the world keeps turning on into another season.
