It's March! I'm so excited. (Yes, it doesn't take much to excite me...) No, these daffodils are not from my garden -- we have a few more weeks before we will see any daffodils in my part of New Jersey -- but I think my supermarket can tell when I need a little pick-me-up. ;)
We have had a few warm days in a row (in the 40's and 50's) and, of course, each day is just a little bit longer than the one before. It's amazing how much happier and more energetic I become with the growing light. Do you find that happens to you, too?
I've bought a new vacuum, cleaned out closets and drawers, tidied all the shelves in our bedroom cabinets with canvas containers, and found a small ottoman which fits under the desk in our tiny den, giving us more room in this very small space.
Suddenly, my house is sparkling, and I'm planning all sorts of decorating schemes, from painting my bedroom dresser to a total redo of the family room!
Isn't it amazing what a little golden light can do? Happy March, dear bloggers!

Happy March ~ the daffodils are just lovely ~ a perfect March pick me up! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove your daffodils. I need to go thrifting and find some milkglass vases.
ReplyDeleteHappy March indeed! I treated myself to some daffs last weekend too! Lovin' that beautiful vase:@)
ReplyDeleteA little golden light AND a new vacuum cleaner can work miracles. Oh, and a very discerning staff at the supermarket. Sounds as if this is going to be a busy spring for you and yours!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what a little extra light can do! Carla
ReplyDeleteMary, Thanks for the little touch of Spring! I think Spring should officially start on March 1st, don't you?
ReplyDeleteAs usual, gorgeous images! You can coax beauty out of anything!

I'm in your state of mind too! I'm loving the longer daylight hours.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the daffodils!

Please send some of that golden light over this way. I could use the energy!
ReplyDeleteDaffodils are such a lovely sign of spring. That's a good idea to buy some cut daffodils if Spring is not just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteYou always have wonderful photos, but your last two posts have been over-the-top beautiful. You can't get much better than daffodils & hyacinths -- maybe throw in some tulips!

After such a flurry of house cleaning, treating yourself to a bouquet of cheery daffodils is the icing on the cake! Who can fail to be happy in the presence of daffodils?
ReplyDeletehappy march!! sounds like a great project you have going on
ReplyDeleteOh, I hear you on the effect of just a little more light and sunshine.
ReplyDeleteAs for the new vacuum - I love it when something so basic sets up a whole new attitude.
Happy March!
Thank you for this beauty! I can't tell you how happy I am that March is here! Wishing you a joyous Spring 2011!!!
ReplyDeleteThose beautiful daffodils really life my spirits. Yes, it also helps that it's March! I can't wait to see if my bulbs come up- it's my first "real" garden!
ReplyDeletegorgeous.
ReplyDeleteyes i too love store bought spring
Your daffodils are so pretty. I think it's time to get some for my little house!
ReplyDeleteHappy March to you too Mary! I did start thinking about starting to spring clean today but maybe the light just isn't quite strong enough yet:) These daffodils did cheer me though!
ReplyDeleteMary, I was in raptures over this post - especially because of the first photo. I LOVE pretty wallpaper.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder, what lens did you use to take these? Do you mind sharing? I've been a bit stuck, lately, because I don't want to take the 60mm off - it has such a lovely quality but, I'm always backed into a corner because I really need a wider angle and a more expansive view. Finally, yesterday, I put the kit lens back on and it was so refreshing and it does take lovely photos but, now, I'm starting to think towards a new zoom. Since it takes me a good year to get there, I thought that I'd start now.... =] Do you use Canon?
Well, I hope that you don't mind me asking this big ol' question, here, in the comment section. I know that you can respond with an email. =]
Love, Katy
Happy March to you also! I was never so happy to see a month as I was this one because it means Spring is only a few days a way and we'll be rid of this blasted snow soon! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteYea for the store flowers! smiles.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love their bright yellow faces. Ours are blooming in the yard and I can't help but smile when I see them.
