Spring Fever.......

Changing over from the Winter porch decorations is always a sign that I'm ready for Spring to return..........

I made that change today.



Next, will be the porch-furniture cushions, the birdhouses, and then the potted flowers.







"An altered look about the hills;
A Tyrian light the village fills;
A wider sunrise in the dawn;
A deeper twilight on the lawn;
A print of a vermilion foot;
A purple finger on the slope;
A flippant fly upon the pane;
A spider at his trade again;
An added strut in chanticleer;
A flower expected everywhere ..."
- Emily Dickinson,

I love Spring - those scones and clotted cream on the right look yummy.

In answer to your question, I'm in Monterey, California. We've been here 10 years and loving it!

Oh I love your porch, Jo... The ferns are gorgeous. I've never had much luck with ferns. They need lots of water and lots of shade...

The Spring wreath is beautiful... I hope that this year's spring comes SOON. I'm like you---I'm ready for it also.

Hugs,
Betsy

Heather, "Monterey"...how lucky can you get ?
I've only seen it on television, but what a spectacular place !

Carol, yes I made the wreath, but the little Carolina Wren's think I made it for them, they keep stealing my moss..lol

Betsy, I hang ferns every year, they seem to do so well, partially covered by the porch, I would imagine.

Hugs,
Josephine (Jo)

Your porch looks the perfect place to sit a spell. Those ferns look magnificent.
