“Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.” ~S.D. Gordon
What a beautiful weekend. Cold and sunny until Easter. Then it was like a switch was flipped and we are now entering late spring, almost summer weather. It is what I love about spring. The variable weather. Above is my first vase of the season from my garden.
Modest, and an homage to the snow crocus that bloomed for weeks. I added a purple chrysanthemum that had been broken from last weeks bouquet to round it out.
I was also given an early Easter present from a dear friend and neighbor.
A beautiful bouquet of lilies, alstroemeria, delphinium, daisies and roses. She received it for her birthday, but her cats would not leave it alone.
So now it sits on my table as each lily slowly unfolds its beauty and scent.
As I wait for more bulbs to flower, I am coloring them instead. This is a page from my #the100dayproject that I am continuing happily.
In honor of spring and Easter I chose pastels for my most recent coloring page.
Love how it turned out. Really into this year’s project. Going at my own pace, slow and with the flow. I will be continuing my coloring for the rest of the year as this is part of a 365-day coloring project/habit that is getting me in touch with my creative self.
With this week’s lovely vases, I am linking in to the wonderful meme, In A Vase On Monday, at Rambling in the Garden.
All the pictures shared in this post were taken with my Nikon Coolpix or iPhone camera, and manipulated on my iPhone using the apps, Pixlr and Prisma. You can follow my progress with #the100dayproject in my Instagram and Facebook feed.
