Spring is my favorite season in NYC. I especially love the trees all over the city with the white blossoms. I am not sure what kind of trees they are, but they are everywhere. This is the East Side; photo taken from the Kips Bay Showhouse. My last apartment in NYC had a wonderful view of flowering trees like this.

And you cannot forget the magnificent tulips on Park Avenue every spring.

SPRING

Everything will be greening up soon.

Hooray!

I just discovered a wonderful new blog via design*sponge. It is called bbbcraft sisters: three sisters living in three cities who are all creative and have a very creative mother, who must have inspired them along the way.

Here, here to mothers.

I have so many glass jars in my laundry room.

I save them for Christmas presents:

to use as containers for spicy nuts and chocolate sauce.

But here is another idea.

Knit a decorative collar

&

a glass jar is transformed.

holy mackerel...

it rained and rained

so glad it wasn't snow.

Spring will be here soon!

The daffodills are begin to pop through the soil.

I forced a few branches... more pictures to follow.

The brook at the bottom of our hill is raging like a river.

and the daylight at 5:00 o'clock is such a delight
