Surrounding Myself With Spring

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Mar 19, 2009

Even though it still looks like winter when I glance out my window, I’m still going to embrace the fact that tomorrow is the first day of spring. It’s still kind of cold, but it’s not cold enough to wear a heavy jacket. Our driveway looks like chocolate pudding, but that will let up soon enough once everything has melted.

In celebration of spring, I’m surrounding myself with things that remind me of this season. For example, I found some pastel colored file folders on clearance a few months ago and now is the time to break them out and put them to use! I was going to use them back when I bought them, but my memory failed me as soon as stuck them in a pile of “stuff I’ll get to later.” That worked out perfectly in this sense, though, don’t you think?

I dreamed last night about potted plants, so even my unconscious self is ready for the nicer weather. My dreams were filled with Boston ferns hanging in each window, planter boxes filled with flowers, and big planter barrels filled with vegetables. Yes, I’m really looking forward to getting this season rolling! I love seeing Mother Nature sweep her paintbrush everywhere!
