Spring has Sprung 2014

What's it Wednesday #116

As soon as I heard the birds chirping and saw a myriad of colorful butterflies in the garden, I knew immediately that Spring had finally Sprung, so I sprung into action. 

This is the time of year when friends and family arrive to thaw out. So I keep plenty of candy out to welcome them. Sweet and salt are always a big hit. This is the second batch of sweet actually. The first batch consisted of carrot cake M & Ms. Oh my goodness sinfully delicious. Now I cannot find them any where. Dove & Cadbury chocolates will just have to do. The salt comes from the sea salted pistachios. 

Today was a perfect day for a Spring lunch for a few dear friends. One of them brought these gorgeous tulips which brightened up the dining room table. 

Flowers are blooming all around which is the perfect reason to break out the Spring china.

I was also inspired to pick up some Peace Lilies and place them all around the house. 

While at the plant nursery, I picked up a variety of impatiens and placed them in this three tiered birdcage on the front porch. The birdcage was recently purchased at Bjs. Y'all know Patty and I have a weakness for birdcages.

Succulents are plentiful this time of year as well. This arrangement was perfect for the smaller bird cage on the front porch. 

Bromeliads and hibiscus are also bursting with color and add amazing color to the yard. What are some signs that "Spring has Sprung" in your neighborhood?
