Spring is creeping into view around here. It rained, and rained and RAINED last week. Literally thought it would never stop. In a short break between the rain we went for a walk . Just around the corner from my home in an abandoned lot I found this beautiful tree in full bloom. Every branch was just covered in flowers. It was like it was singing, "Spring is here!" I think the tree was totally showing off!
The whole tree was covered in stunning purple flowers. I just couldn't pass by without snagging some yummy purple for myself, so rolled up my sleeves (and pants!) and trudged through the very soggy ground to clip a few branches to take home. I think my poor husband had to pretend he didn't know me. Ah-hem. We Came home and placed the branches into two old spice jars. I just couldn't get over the color and the simple loveliness of the branches.
I ended my excursion with some much needed chai tea (see recipe!). Oh so tasty. How are you welcoming spring into your home?
Oh how PRETTY! yes, I can imagine how you'd have to have some of that purple!
ReplyDeleteI'm unfortunately welcoming spring with a giant sized box of allergy medicine... but will hopefully enjoy the flowers soon!
Hi Marisa, thanks for stopping by my blog! I battled allergies all day yesterday. An unfortunate side affect of welcoming spring. Hope you can enjoy the lovely weather soon (:
ReplyDeleteIt rained here too and I thought I was going to loose my mind! I had to keep telling myself that the water make the flowers bloom!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I opened your blog I knew I'd like it! You have a lovely style and sensibility. I look forward to reading your posts. :)
ReplyDeleteThose branches look so elegant in the jars! I would have done the same too (braved the soggy ground to bring a piece of spring home with me). And chai is my FAVORITE! I drink it almost everyday. :)

Thank you all for your kind words. You truly warmed my heart. Thank you so much for stopping by and reading! I will do the same.
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying walks out with my 11 month old son, showing him all the birdies and flowers and wishing time wasn't passing quite so quickly!
ReplyDeleteHi Pinkie, I know with little ones the time does just pass so quickly. Glad you are able to get out and enjoy the weather.
