March 27, 2010: Spring Has Sprung

It may be in the 40's outside (and there were snow flurries last night?!?!), but the trees are budding and the pinecone wreath on the front door just wasn't cutting it anymore.

I went to Michael's to look for a more spring-y wreath, and found the below, which I liked. I did NOT, however, like the price: $79.99. Are you kidding me???

I decided I could do just as well on my own, thank you very much. So, wreath-making materials: $27. An hour or so of assembly while watching VCU beat Kansas: free. Result? Perfect.

Looks especially good with the pansies purchased this morning, and pots purchased yesterday. Winter is over, and the outdoors are calling!
