Winter, Tulips, Snow
Tulips win!
Thank goodness I prepared for today's weather
making sure I had those tulips on my table
to keep us smiling indoors!

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh,
you don't quite know what it is you do want,
but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!

I love spring anywhere,
but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden.

Have a pretty Friday and a sprinkled pink Saturday!{sharing something for Friday Pretties at Joyce's blog
and something for Beverly's How Sweet the Sound ~ Pink Saturday post}
Your vase and tulips are just breathtaking. This morning my sweet neighbor CeCe brought me a couple stalks of orchids from her yard. They are on my coffee table, and bring a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteMade Peanut butter cookies this morning ~ weather is cold, and I love to have the oven going on these kinds of days.
You look darling ~~ you are such a cute "snow bunny"
Love and Hugs

{sigh} oh how I wish spring would hurry...you have a ton of snow! We don't have quite that much, but enough that I want to see some green grass! :)
ReplyDelete~ have a happy weekend! xoxo
Such beautiful photographs, I love your tulips. Just when I think Spring is here it snows again...like tonight.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday,
Karen
What contrasts, spring then winter then spring again. Cute posts.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote by Mark Twain...so true!
ReplyDeleteWe are buried in snow, too, and when the tulips start they way out of the ground with the lilly of the valley and all the other sweet flowers, the wait of this snowy winter, will be well worth it!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Happy Pink Saturday Maria Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what a gorgeous share this evening. It may be cold and dark outside, but the pink beauties are bright and alive indoors. I love the tulips in your pitcher. They just scream HAPPY.
I love seeing your garden bench, lots of snow, as tall as you for goodness sake. The photo of the wreath that has the cardinal to the side looking in towards the window is breathtaking. How beautiful that is. And his color is exquisite.
Stay warm sweet friend and have a glorious weekend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Wow, the snow!! You are really more than knee deep. I must admit then, we are blessed this side of Atlantic, buds have appeared on my lilac tree, and despite the clouds, temperatures are mild (10C). Loved your tulips, too, what balm for the heart, so pretty. Take care, Maria, keep inside and warm. :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a snow!! wowwwwwwwww...lovely weekend......love Ria...xxx..
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, the tulips won! I love love the picture of the pink tulips in your window, picture in your sidebar. Your mugs, cups and plates are extremely adorable, Maria. Your coffees must taste heavenly, drunk out of these.
ReplyDeleteYou are very pretty, a lovely snow lady!
I must step aside now, Vinciane wants to send an email to her girlfriend, to thank her for the birthday card she just received. I love this!! My little girl is growing up.
I did read your email a few days ago, dearest sweet friend.
In an hour we are off to Brugge in Belgium. We'll stay there until Monday; to celebrate the girly birthdays!
Love and hugs for a loveliest of weekends, sweet Maria xxxx
I failed to prepare for the weather with tulips and a beautiful vase...Next time, I'll try to remember!
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of you outside, blending in with the beautiful snow! And all the quotes of spring....soooooo inviting.
Such sweet photos you share today my friend. Our snow is all gone but it is still so cold.
ReplyDeleteYour tulips warm my heart today as I know they are a sign of things to come.
Enjoy your moments...and that sweet doughnut...hugs and oodles of love.
xxoo
Precious Maria!
