Spring decor around the house

I thought I better get some pictures posted of springtime around the house before spring is over!!  Just got back from our trip to Vancouver Island and it was so beautiful on the island!  Spring is definately sprung there!  So many beautiful shades of green and the foliage is so thick and carpet like!!  Will post more on that another day and share some pictures.

The fireplace mantel is a very large one,,,,which means that because of my obsession that things have to be balanced evenly,  can prove to be a bit of a problem!!   Thankfully Michaels had some good sales on their spring decor and I was able to buy one get one on a number of these new accessories!




Tend to be seeing more of the wicker and wood grain colors...
I like them with clean whites and just a pop of color.



Hints of robin egg blue for just a touch of color.



Tulips had a place on the mantel as well this spring.
White pitchers and flowers,,,one of my favorite things!


One of my favorite pictures of color and texture.


Nothing like HOME


Morning sun coming into the sitting area.
A good place to have a cuppa something,
a visit with a friend or a nap!!


We are working outside, getting areas ready to seed grass, finishing the fireplace area, and doing some landscape border work.  Always something to keep busy and get this yard into shape the way we want.  
Have a wonderful day and happy spring!!

Who knew a heart shaped rock could be so photogenic!!




Can you find the heart shaped rock in the pile?  This reminds me that out of all the people in the world, God knows me by name and knows my heart....



I went for a walk along the coulee close to our house and found this 
heart shaped rock along the way!  


An old piece of tin with grass growing through made an
interesting back drop as well.



A clear blue prairie sky in the background.








Looking forward to a trip to Victoria this coming week.
Our first official "empty nest " get away.
Hope to get lots of photos along the way.

"S" is for SPRING

Happy Easter !!    He is RISEN! a celebration of the greatest battle that was and ever will be fought....and just to think He did for me!   Thankful for the grace of the cross today.


I just love the texture and simplicity of this picture!







The tulips I bought have opened up nicely.
They look nice on fireplace mantel amongst a few touches
of shades of seafoam and tourqoiuse.

Along the trail

We have beautiful walking trails in our city.  The paths wander through the coulee and along the river.  With the river coming through the city, you can see deer at any given time , some even wandering casually through the downtown streets.  These three beauties were sharing the pathways with me the other day.


I think they are waiting for greener grass to appear as well!
 A light skiff of snow on the ground again this morning.
