Snow still settled on the ground outside, no melting that I could see. (Not yet, anyway). I opened the sliding glass door and was met with the freezing air. Simultaneously, the sun forced my eyes closed, and a gentle yet inevitable grin spread across my face.
That cold fresh air mixed with the warm sun made me flip into spring mode. I immediately began cleaning and dusting. I put out my new spring placemats and put up our Easter Egg tree. A new lemon themed swag is now above the sliding glass door replacing the pomegranate winter-themed swag that used to be there. It's crooked, but up! I'll eventually adjust it to the perfect fit.

It is feeling like a nice way to start off a month of slicing. It feels fresh, new, and ready.
Happy March, and happy slicing! I just love that feeling when the sun’s warmth finally takes over the cold’s chills.
ReplyDeleteHappy March and "almost spring"! We had a very similar morning. The sun is shining and the snow is melting here, and every bit of my heart tells me that spring is coming.:) I love that you put out the new spring placemats - willing it to come. Thank you for the uplifting post!
ReplyDeleteIt is warm here in Indiana too. And I question - is this a tease? Happy slicing!
ReplyDeleteIt’s sweet that the sun’s rays coaxed you to usher in spring — indoors of course — this morning with your home decor. Before we know it, spring will actually be here! (Just found out it is in 3/19. Early!)
ReplyDeleteI could smell spring in the air earlier in the week. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHappy March! Cleaning is my very favorite way to start a new month, too. :) Feels like wiping away all the ick and grime of winter today, though.
ReplyDeleteYes, cold, but sunny here too! Ready for a great month of writing and reading and commenting!
ReplyDeleteI look at the daffodils and the pussy willow in our yard and yes, spring is on its way. However, I won't put away the hot chocolate just yet.
ReplyDeleteSpring is in the air at your house, Betsy. The sun was bright today but there is a cold snap here on Long Island. It was a productive day of washing , slicing, and preparing for a presentation but I think your day sounds like a better mix for a feel-good day.
