The Beauty of Spring

For me, beauty is a huge source of my happiness, I am always inspired by a passion for uniqueness, whether it is a sunset after a storm or the first buds of peonies, my eye can zero in on objects long before others begin to even notice the natural or creative presence within an item. Flowers are an integral part of our home, vases are interspersed on tables with fresh cuttings from the garden.

And when the opportunity arises it is imperative to take in a glorious sunset, which it is the perfect way to relax at the end of the day. This photograph taken by family friend C. Kelley in Lake Anne after a severe storm the other day was too beautiful to resist…..the sky is sheer perfection. Lastly, who can resist a delicious dessert for an after dinner treat, I just had to stop by the bakery for a chocolate cake to end the evening after a most tying days at work.

Always look for those combinations of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases your aesthetic senses and you will be surrounded by beauty!

And remember to stay stylish,

Gardening Day

The first signs of spring have arrived—- yesterday while working in the garden squirrels scampered up fences into neighbor’s yards, birds called to others in distant trees, and spiders crawled up plants checking out the new growth. Evidence of new beginnings definitely abounds, Easter is fast approaching and blossoming flowers inspire us to feel festive!

{In the top photo the garden is filled with “purple dead-nettle” a herbaceous flowering plant {weed} that grew prolifically as a result of the warm winter}

{This daffodil is surrounded by “Henbit dead-nettle“,which can be mistaken for the purple dead-nettle above}

It is refreshing to feel the warmth of the sun and the spring rain upon my face. The spectacular beauty that has surfaced over the past month overwhelms me to think creatively when gardening. With my list of chores in hand, the possibilities of what are to come encourage me to work harder.

Garden stylishly,
K
