Decorating with Fresh Flowers from Your Yard
It is definitely spring at our house. The forsythia and daffodils are blooming. But, it is supposed to be cold for the next few days. I knew I wouldn’t be able to go out and enjoy the flowers as much as we have been. So, this morning, I went out and cut some forsythia branches and a few daffodils and put them in a vase. I really enjoyed having them on our table tonight for dinner. They make the house smell like spring, too!
What are you doing to freshen up your decorating for spring?
