Welcome to March

I don't know what to expect any more. It is March but there is no sign this snowy deep freeze sub zero weather is going away any time soon. The only upside is that days are getting longer, and despite the windchill we are still getting ample sunshine. I can live with that. 

In preparation for Spring, I updated my bedroom with some fresh linen from the Pottery Barn's Pearl Embroidered collection. 

I am also fantasizing about my Spring garden. The crocuses are the first to come out every year in late March and early April. 

It is summer in Auckland New Zealand, and this blueish purple flowers are everywhere. They are also very popular in major California cities like San Francisco. Do you know the name of this plant? Hint: it was one of Monet's favorites. 

Speaking of California, I am going to sign off now and watch myself some Oscar. I will be sharing my spring-summer project list later this week. Stay tuned.
