It's officially Spring, and the sun is shining so beautifully today. I walked out back and cut these from my cutting garden, hidden behind the house. I try my best to keep fresh flowers in our home all year long, so it's especially nice to be able to cut them from the garden.
Aren't you SO excited it's Spring?! Like a little kid who just can't wait, I've already worn flip flops and my favorite flowing skirt. It's my Spring and Summer uniform. I feel awkward and uncomfortable in pants and jeans sometimes, and can't stand socks. I'm definitley a warm weather girl, and I've even been known to wear my ballet flats in the snow!
Wishing you a Happy Spring and all the hope and joy that comes from new life, new flowers, new growth...every year...no matter what.
{p.s. The Fancy Ostrich Eggs are coming this week...I'll let you know exactly when as soon as I know.}
Beautiful flowers and beautiful pictures!!! Certainly inspiring for Spring!

Your flowers look beautiful. I can't wait for warm weather either!! And I live in California:) So I can only imagine what you must be feeling. Can't wait to see those eggs, hope I get on early enough to snap one up!!

Yes...Happy Spring indeed! Gorgeous flowers Andrea, and I totally agree with the flip flops and being a warm weather girl.
When I moved to New York I didn't even own a pair of closed toe shoes, and being that I moved there in December, I immediately ran to the nearest shoe store!
I'm happy to be back home in California...if only I could wear my flip flops to work...sigh!

Beautiful flowers...they were my mom's favorite:) I really should move to a "tropical" sort of place so I could wear my flip-flops all year long.

Thanks for sharing such pretty photos today. They yellow flowers are beautiful. I really needed that dose of yellow "sunshine" to add a little cheer to what has been a gloomy and rainy day here in Minnesota.

Oh happy day, spring has sprung! These buttercup yellow daffodils are my favorite daffodil. And I totally get ya about the socks or lack there of. Sandals come out early spring and stay out till early fall! xoxo

Amazing! Happy Spring wishes to you as well! What kind of daffodils are these? Some kind of romantic double? I am loving the yellow on my monster forsythia~

What stunning flowers! I am so excited for spring too. Last week we had beautiful weather and now we are expecting a terrible snowstorm on Thursday. Yikes. I'll just have to keep looking at your flowers.

What a treat to have these beauties in your own backyard! I love fresh flowers in the house all the time too.

I am so hoping that the cherry blossoms will be in bloom next week when I am in town! I missed them last year.
Looks like I will be free on Wed. and Thur. if you can get away.

I have been taking some Spring flower pictures as well. They are wonderful. Too bad they leave us too quickly.
