The Wishing









I am so sick of winter and I know March is always the longest month evah! It is such a cruel month, everyone else in the freaking country is posting about their daffodils and cherry blossoms and we are in the middle of a blizzard and mud season. Bllllaaaaahhhhh *said in my best Snoopy voice*
So I thought I would just bring a little Spring to me rather than wait until it decides it wants to meander my/our way.
Yes, yes I did stick some fake flowers in the snow and then took photos. My neighbors now think I am totally crazy and I am expecting the men with the straight jacket any moment now, but it made me happy. :)

Hang in there...spring isn't too far away. Well, in my case it's definitely summer...86 degrees today. But well, now it's cold outside (like 60s I'm sure!). At least yall pick one temperature and stick to it!!!

Oh dearie...we have winter until May at times, so I'm right there with you. Our worst snows are in March/April. Just hang in there, it will eventually warm up.

Love these, Liz, especially the composition of the first one! I never would have known those were fake flowers. I just picked up another little $4 bunch of flowers at the grocery store today. $4 is a cheap price to pay to prevent from going all Jack-Nicholson-in-The-Shining. Someone once told me that March is the snowiest month in Maine, and it about made me cry.

Fake flowers, that's funny! Actually, my sil in Texas puts out a whole bunch every spring because it's too difficult for her to manage real onces. I think I'll do that this year when everyone else is having spring, and we're still buried. Your photos look wonderful; very creative!
