No sunrise this morning. Just cold gray skies.
At least we have some beautiful Spring flowers to brighten the day.

Spring flowers in a stamped & soda-fired tumbler. So nice to have a bit of Spring inside.

A welcome harbinger of Spring… So sunny. So yellow. So cheery.

Looks like the Spring flowers weren’t too happy about the snow either. We’ve got some droopy daffodils this morning. At least the clear blue skies & bright sunshine make it all a bit more bearable… and beautiful.

Welcome to Spring in Chicago!!!

After yesterday’s “freakish” snowstorm, it was so nice to see the sun shining this morning and some beautiful forsythias blooming along the way!

Beautiful harbingers of Spring. A few cute crocus to brighten the day.

A small batch of day lilies greeting the morning sun.
Casting their little shadows for all to see.

Okay sure, there may still be a small chill in the air. But it is nice to see daffodils, iris and other spring greens poking through the ground. A wonderful sign of Spring fun to come!

Here’s an amazing video I just found that combines four of my favorite things…
beautiful flowers, crazy creativity, incredible craftsmanship and JELL-O.
Okay, so maybe it’s some kind of special gelatin, but I still dare you to be the first one to take a bite!!!

So it appears to be a layer of clear gelatin in a form pan. Then they’re injecting something (colored gelatin?) into the base. The result is amazing!!!

And now for the Big Reveal… and don’t forget to click here for the video.

And sure the tiny white ones are pretty darn cute… but I also have these beautiful purple speckled orchids re-blooming in the dining room. I’m not sure what’s going on, but my orchid plants are doing great. It’s a south facing window and apparently the ice cube trick is doing something they like?!
