Sunday Smiles: Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I love this season because of the inspiration I get from the sense of rebirth and renewal that’s all around – it’s refreshing! I hope you spent the day, as I did, enjoying the day with friends & family!!!

Yesterday my sister and I spent time planting spring flowers in my front yard.  Here is my front porch container;  I love the mix of colors.

Ranunculus are so beautiful, and since they’re one of my favorite flowers, I knew I wanted to plant them this year. I added asters and a cool variety of daisy to their containers. I can’t wait for them to settle in a bit really start thriving.

I know I had a shot like this last week, but since these are a fresh bouquet of flowers, straight from the front yard, I figured I’d share them again.

My contribution to our Easter brunch – a beautiful berry salad – strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries.

Merry Christmas!

“The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.”
―Burton Hillis

The thing I love the most about Christmas is the sense of joy and hope that it evokes in me. I love the thought that I get to spend extra time with family and friends so that we can catch up on the events of the past year. It always means that I have more time to myself, to share fun times with my
favorite people in the world. Having 2 weeks off doesn’t hurt, either! 😉

I hope all of you have a very joy-filled day, even if you don’t celebrate Christmas.
