Spring

I am LOVING SPRING!

The weather, the scenery, the fresh air blowing through the house...heaven. I've been enjoying walking into the backyard with a pair of scissors and clipping a few pretties to bring inside. I've been enjoying being able to hear the girls laughing and playing in the sunshine. I've been enjoying my feathered friends outside singing...and singing...and singing. We are taking it all in while we can...and loving it.

Isn't this Wisteria incredible?! I saw this while driving the other day and just had to turn the car around to snap a photo. I don't know if I've ever seen so much in one spot before. One day when we are living in our dream home, I want to have a pergola in the backyard covered in it.

Ha! All you have to do is say *dream home* and your mind starts spinning doesn't it? Visions of rooms, furniture, flooring, outdoor spaces, etc.  I've started clipping photos out of magazines and catalogs just for fun...so funny how satisfying that is!

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted a black and white checkered kitchen floor. As my tastes have changed over the years, the desire for that floor has not...and I don't think it ever will.

Ahhh, beautiful dream house...one day.

We are hoping to start freshening up our house soon, and I'm SO excited. Repainting the outside, the kitchen (and HOPEFULLY cabinets), the living room...ooooo I'm all tingly just thinking about it! We hope to get going on it all before the choking humidity gets here. Paint + humidity = Dianna cursing.

I've been itching to paint SOMETHING but unfortunately down here we are having our annual pollen issue...it floats through the air leaving everything covered with a layer of the powdery yellow stuff {not to mention, torturing anyone with allergies}. Ick.

Rather than fight it, I will play along.

 

I believe I will be spray painting this little guy a sun-shiny shade of yellow tomorrow.
