Life Lately: Spring is Here
Hello everyone! It’s been a rather crazy past few weeks for me, so it’s nice to sit down with a cup of tea and put together a blog post. Without getting into too many details, the month of March was a crazy and long and tiring 31 days- it was exhausting mentally, emotionally and physically- so I am glad to be done with it and moving on to April!
Ss, some of these pictures are from my Instagram, and I thought I’d post them here- along with some other photos I’ve taken in the past few weeks.
It’s finally starting to feel like Spring around here, and the flowers are starting to come up. This little viola on the right side is only about 2″ tall, and it’s been blooming ever since it popped up through the snow!
It’s always nice to use the fine china when you invite friends over for tea and cake. And it’s nice to eat up the leftover strawberries for breakfast the next day too 🙂
The trees are starting to bud out, finally!
Part of the exhaustion in March was due to my sister and I moving out of our apartment. We thought we were getting a new place, but it all fell through, and so I’m now looking for a new place and temporarily living with my family. I’m so thankful that I can live with them, while I find a new housing situation!
My mom bought me tulips a few weeks ago. I love how fluid they are! And on the right, is one of the last sunsets from our previous apartment. I’m going to miss seeing that view every day!
I love how colourful the rhubarb leaves, on the right, are! They are such a bold pop of colour amid all of the brown around them.
Just some cute little cactuses of my mom’s growing in her window. And, even though I will miss the view at our old apartment, at least my parents live on a lovely acreage with lots of trees to enjoy!
Anyways, these are just some photos I’ve taken over the past few weeks- I’m glad that Spring is finally here! Although it was a bit colder this past week, it’s nice to be able to pack away the winter coats and boots (I hope I’m not too optimistic with that…) and start thinking about Spring and warm weather outfits!
How is your April, so far?

Nicole, I love your photography’s! The details and colors that you highlight are beautiful and I feel how much you notice things in every one of your photos.
I’m sorry to hear about your housing situation—I hope that it resolves soon! And that you are able to enjoy the beauty of your familiar home landscape in the meantime.
I too, am excited for spring’s arrival. We live next to a creek and the Canadian geese have been arriving over the past two weeks in greater numbers with their big strident voices and elegant necks. I wonder when they will start nesting? They are already mostly paired off. Between the birds coming back and the first daffodils and tulips blooming and the turtles creeping out of their hibernation holes around the ponds—I feel certain that despite some cold storms, Spring is here.
Happy early Easter! I hope that April brings you more joy and relief than March.

Thank-you so much!
I too love the return of the geese- a sure sign that Spring is on it’s way! I hope you have a lovely April/Easter too!

Oops, there was a typo. I meant “photographs.”

Oh I do hope you get your accommodation sorted soon, moving is stressful! Beautiful photos, I am glad to see Spring has arrived in your part of the world. Spring arrived for us a while ago, but then last Thursday we had snow?! Hopefully it’s sunshine from here on in… Xx

Thank-you Porcelina!
We have been fortunate enough to not have any more snow, though we’ve had some chilly days…but you never can know with Spring weather! I hope you have been enjoying lovely warm sunshine this month!

Sorry about your apartment situation. Hope you find a new one soon. Our Crocus are blooming. The Daffodils are not out yet but they will be soon. Looking forward to seeing your warm weather outfits.
