Thoughts of Spring





Fresh, soft, bright, light. That's what spring means to me.




The willows are showing a leafy green. They're always the first to start. Cheery blossoms decorate the neighborhood.  




The light has changed.




Early spring has a softness found no other time in the year. . . .








Who can help but celebrate?
































Happy Spring days ahead!

  8. All of your photos are so beautiful, but the closeup of the nest really speaks to me. This post truly captures how spring is arriving here in CT - very slowly with small signs that it is trying to make its appearance (even with a foot of snow still covering my gardens).

  10. Love, love, love your post today! Oh, I am so anxious for spring... I cannot wait. Today our temps are still in the 30s, but at least it's lighter longer.

  19. Jacqueline, I have been embracing the onset of spring, it youth in growth and the cleaning and tweeting about the house that always seams to take place about this time of year.
    I love your photos it's feels a bit different but very much you. My favorite photo is of the dark cabinet with the iron-stoneware a top it. I am looking for a couple of very dark pieces to anchor my home, I want to add some depth as you have that soulfully speaks to us all I am sure of that.

    May the grace and growth of spring inspire.
    Xoxo

  20. Jacqueline,
    Early Spring, with its softness, beckons this indoors lady to come out~of~doors and soak up the Sun!!! I've been enjoying my time sipping Afternoon Tea on the back deck!!! This post is a gentle invitation to bring out some soft linens to add to the tables!!!
    Fondly,
    Pat

  21. Jacqueline, such a pretty and light touch of spring, just as it should be. Our willows are all sprouting too and look so pretty, but I'm sad that I missed the pussy-willows when they were out. We have been having such great weather that they came and went right before our very eyes..Happy Wednesday..Judy
