Lilacs to Welcome the First Day of Spring
Happy first official day of Spring! A quick look out my window still shows piles of snow, despite what the calendar says, so today I am sharing a look back to these photos I took last Spring. I took this set last June, but never published them so, since there are no flowers growing around here yet, nor will there be for a quite a while longer, I thought I would share them with you today, even though they are almost a year late!
We did get another huge snowfall this past weekend, despite my wishes to the contrary in my last post, but yesterday it was such a warm day, that the snow is melting fast. I have decided that there will be no more photos including large drifts of snow here on the blog, until next winter! This might mean that all of my photos will need to be taken indoors, or I won’t have any outfit photos for a while. . . but I am so ready for winter to be finished. So until spring really feels like it is here, I will have to make do with looking at last years photos, and enjoying the bouquet of tulips my mom bought for me last week!
Happy Spring dear Readers!
Is it looking and feeling like Spring in your part of the world?

Beautiful photos, very Spring like. We had another load of snow at the weekend but thankfully it thawed really quickly. I cannot wait for it to warm up and really become Spring now, I’m craving the sunshine! xx

Thanks so much Cate!
And, I am so craving the sunshine too! We had a ton of snow this past weekend, and are expecting more next weekend. . . but hopefully that will be all?

It was a lovely 14 C and sunny here two days ago, now it’s back to only 2 C and feeling much colder with the wind.
So no signs of spring around here yet either. Luckily we haven’t had snow in over 6 weeks I think and it was all long gone well over a month ago. I just wish the cold temperatures would leave.

It’s always the worst when it gets warm (t-shirt weather!) and then it drops again, because it always feels ten times colder than it really is. I hope the warm weather comes and stays!

The Lilacs are beautiful. We have another North East storm here in New York. We are suppose to receive 6-10 inches of snow. Not a happy camper right now. I will be shoveling for quite a while.

Ooh- that’s a lot of snow headed your way! We are supposed to get more on Friday too, but not that much, I don’t think. Here’s to hoping that Spring is really on it’s way and the snow will be gone for good!

Lovely photos! Lilacs are one of my favorite flowers, and you’re making me feel thirsty for some spring weather.
Unfortunately we haven’t seen much of it in Chicago yet. It’s stayed quite chilly here, but I’m hoping it will warm up a bit soon.

Thank-you Jessica!
It’s such a long transition from Winter to Spring, isn’t it? It always seem to take too long! Hopefully you’ll get some warm Spring weather soon!

That is a lovely picture, I spent the first day of spring cleaning up the garden under the low tunnel. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the first day of spring.
