Celebrating Nature's Beauty

Just finished decorating our out~door Easter tree.I used a wilting bouqet of dried up flowers.I love the signs of wild nature...even dried up!

Spring
Spring,the sweet Spring,is the year's pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing,the maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting,the pretty birds do sing,
Cuck-oo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

The palm and may make country houses gay,
Lambs frisk and play,the sheperds pipe all day,
And we hear aye birds that merry lay,
Cuck-oo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

The fields breathe sweet,the daisies kiss our feet,
Young lovers meet, old wives a-stunning sit,
In every street these tunes our ears do greet,
Cuck-oo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
Spring ! the sweet Spring !

Spring Reading Area

Depending on what it is and especially the childrens things,it truly seems hard for me to part with some of them. This old baby crib for instance,it was Tanners crib first then the others to follow......
Were getting ready to have a yard sale in the next few weeks. So it has been set out to be sold. I've been starring it down wondering what I could use it for,that I didn't have to part with it just yet.It's old I know when they have there children they'll want something new.So,it was one of two choices......
a) firewood holder, to keep the wood dry
b) spring/summer reading area.
Well you can see which one I picked,the kids have had a wonderful time reading in it,especially toward the evening when their day is slowly winding down.
