Pretty sure Winter just skipped us this year…

You would have NO idea that Spring is still seven weeks away if you ventured on to my street.

The Japanese magnolias are in full force

And the azaleas are starting to pop out already too!

But it still looks like winter in some ways…

Except across the street at my neighbors, where the tulips are all bloomed out already!
Here’s a bunch of “faux” flowers in a jar I found at Goodwill a while back.  This arrangement makes me smile.

And here’s a favorite birdie which normally sits on my kitchen windowsill but I brought him outside for a bit to take his picture.  He’s singing. 😉

And the latest camellias in a turquoise Ball jar I also scored at GW!  Who gets rid of that?!? I just love the colors together.
I decked the house out for Valentine’s today while the kids were at school. They were surprised and happy when they got home.  And I was so happy to get this wreath for 4 bucks at a local thrift shop – saw a similar one at Target today for five times that much!
