Is it Spring Yet?

This has been the coldest spring that I can remember. I can't tell you how eager I am to be able to ride my bike or take in some sun. Until then, it's nice to at least spruce up your home with seasonal treats like these cherry tree branches. While they will not bring about beautiful spring weather, they might brighten up the day for anyone who sees them, and then we can at least be positive that the warm weather will arrive any day.

Heaven Scent

I don’t like flowers as big statements. I prefer them to be downplayed. The trumpet lily is one of my favorites. They’re kind of old school, which I like, and at the same time, quite modern. They’re the most heaven-scented kind of lily. Having one or two heads per stem makes for a distinct form, so they look great in a bud vase but also thrown together in a bigger glass vase can be super nice as well.
