Dreaming about...

It's been extremely rainy these past few days, looks like the summer weather is starting to kick in down here in S. Florida. Truth be told, I sort of like it. The rain makes everything nice and quiet, the grass and the trees look greener, and the flowers are starting to bloom a little more each day. While some people don't like the temporary reprieve from the ever strengthening Summer sun, it reminds me that Spring is here, making me dream about pretty gardens and flowy dresses.

Today I'm dreaming of a pretty backyard garden...with ivy growing around the house and hidden little walkways...

a pretty dress that moves as you rock on an age old tree swing...
and bright white hydrangeas to keep me company... until then, I'm just going to curl up on this rainy day and get the same feeling with this movie...

Spring is finally here


Spring has finally arrived!

There are many things I love about this season, long sunny days and choosing from my endless collection of flip-flops. However, my absolute favorite thing about spring are the flowers! I love fresh flowers! So, knowing that we have finally reached the time of year when these wonderful blooms were making their appearance, I rushed over to Field of Flowers, my local flower shop.

The entire shop was filled with flowers of every shape, size and color imaginable! Everything from African Violets, to Birds of Paradise, to giant Orchids. However, it was the Hydrangeas that caught my attention. They were huge bundles of blues, whites, and greens. I grabbed as many as I could hold! As the florist wrestled to contain the giant bundles in brown paper, all I could think about was how pretty they were going to look in our home. They are now gracing every counter top of my bedroom, a little wake-up reminder that my favorite season is now here.
