Spring into Purple With Earth Day

 I just love the color purple especially in the Spring when lots of purple flowers are in bloom. I'm featuring purple for this post from my kitchen today.

A sweet post card with purple blooms and a spring sentiment. 

I'm sharing purple blooms on the table as my centerpiece.  Hope you enjoy it. 

All things purple indicate the welcome of spring. 

Sweet purple teapots are ready for serving tea. I have become a hot tea drinker since giving up sodas.

Eye-catching purple lobelia and purple verbena are used for this spring table. They will be planted in my gardens for Earth Day. 

Purple lilacs are blooming now. 

Do you like the aroma of the lilacs I like the smell of them while I am outside but cannot bring them indoors?

Temps for the past couple of nights have been down to freezing. I have covered my azaleas, iris, and young plants.

Purple blooms in the front and back yard show off gorgeous color. You can see the iris blooms are drooping a bit from those cool nights.

My friend has a purple bottle tree in her yard.

The Iris in my front beds are blooming too. Thank goodness I took these pics before the cold temps. 

I wasn't always a big purple fan! When I moved to Kentucky and saw the stunning colors of purple, my heart softened and now I just love purple. 

I'm leaving my white rabbits and purple flower arrangement on the hearth for a few more days.

Thanks for stopping by for a whole lot of purple - Judy.

A Tweak or Two

I made a few changes over the weekend. 

A little tweaking and my dining room table looks a bit more like Spring.

A move from the mantel (shown here) to the table and a new look arrived. 

Add a glass pedestal hurricane candle holder in the middle, and the look was complete.

So a tweak or two can make a big difference.

I love the Spring colors of pink, purple and greens in the wreath centerpiece and Guess What? It didn't cost me a dime.

Thanks for stopping by - Judy.
