Winter Be Gone!

After a string of substantially below-average temperature days that lasted more than two weeks, our area finally warmed up over the weekend. Yesterday it was 15 degrees higher than the historical average of 52°. Combine the nice weather with the first day of Daylight Savings Time today and I felt almost giddy.

This afternoon I decided to swap out the winter-themed art.  Gone is the snow-covered barn painted by Hubby Tony's great aunt:


It was replaced by a painting of boys flying kites in a flower-covered meadow:



Instead of this bare-branched tree with an angry winter sky that was in the living room:


There's now a colorful vase of flowers hanging on the hook between the windows.


Now the house looks much better.  Bring on Spring!

  2. It was beautiful out today here too! I let the chi's out earlier and wished that I could take them out for a walk. But sigh... I still had homework to finish up. :(

    1. Son Donald was doing his reading out on the deck. He said it was SO MUCH better than being inside.

  3. I'm envious that you have enough artwork that you can swap out paintings with the seasons. At our house, what goes up stays up until we move.

    1. Over the years I've collected things I like. Lately I've been getting some type of artwork from places we go on vacation. When I look at them they bring back good memories
