At Least it’s Spring

March 21, 2020

Spring came on March 19th a day earlier then the earliest I would have expected it. I hadn’t begun decorating yet although we had brought the Spring totes up from the storage room. When I realized it was the first day of Spring I opened the totes and got out the trees and the ornaments.

At the end of the season last year my youngest daughter found two more of the trees I could only find one of so I put them in the dining room windows.

I was excited to hang the last of my Evanston sidewalk sales purchases – the purple and green plaid bunny at the bottom of this tree.

That cute (vintage?) egg basket with the painted cherry design also came from an Evanston sidewalk sale.

I hung the eggs on the wooden tree again this year. I couldn’t resist the one with the yellow duck and flowers when I saw it at Michael’s a few weeks ago. It reminded me of the duck in The Golden Egg Book – one of my favorite childhood books.

This isn’t my childhood copy but a review copy I snagged from a donation pile a few years ago since I didn’t have mine anymore

I don’t have anywhere to hang this poster with the final illustration from the book so it’s just propped up on the floor in the workroom

Even though we don’t know when baseball season will start this year I added the baseball glove to the kitchen ornaments this year since it’s a bit heavy for the new Spring trees.

I thought it was so fun when someone brought a baseball as a Sign of Spring offering to a Unitarian Society service one year so when I saw this baseball glove ornament I knew I needed it for my Spring Tree.

I decided to leave the rest of the Spring decorating for another day and went for a walk in the rain since I can’t go to the gym. I was excited to see a true sign of Spring!
