“Blossom by Blossom the Spring Begins.” -Algernon Charles Swinburne
I know that I am tempting the weather gods, which have shown little mercy during the winter of 2025, by putting up my new spring wreath this morning. April arrives in two days and my attitude is that it’s about Garden Moments time!
This is the sister wreath of the one I made for my sweet neighbor and hung on her porch last week.
Now I get to enjoy both of them!! Lucky me. I’ve been thrilled with the assortment of both wreaths and faux flowers being carried by Home Goods this season!!
I’m hoping that ‘Out like a Lamb’ really happens and I get no snow on my lovely faux-hydrangea-wreath petals. But I’m willing to risk it because I am ready for spring. How about you?

Next up?
Yard cleanup. A true sign of seasonal change.
What’s first on your outdoor-garden work agenda?
