There’s nothing quite so delicious as the first bowl of extra large Louisiana strawberries to kick off the spring tasting season.
Well, perhaps a fresh bunch of garden asparagus.
The seasons of Louisiana vary from minute to hour to week.
Ice storm damage is throwing our planting into wait and see mode, but the warm days signal planting and patio time is near.
Nature awakens in color and bloom to remind us dark and barren times never last forever.

Harsh late winter storms combined with multiple days and nights of arctic freezing temperatures zapped the life out of many of my plants, buds and blooms- most notably the hydrangeas I’ve babied for the last three seasons.
A jaunt to the big box store garden center will replace what was.
I believe I’ll add a couple of packs of dusty miller and begonias to the mix for filler and balance.
Spring flowers come in many shapes and forms.

Much to my surprise and joy I’ve proven to myself no formal florist skills are needed to create a seasonal floral arrangement.
Blooms and greens from my lawn and garden or the clearance buckets perched in a local grocery store floral department display become the stars of the window seal or tabletop spring flower show.
Keeping it simple is the key to DIY flower arranging.
It might be a dollar store glass container, vintage Mason jar, ironstone creamer pitcher, the antique rose bowl Dave the Builder gifted me with years ago, or these eye catching-soon to be in my buy now pickup later cart- pretty in pink vases that becomes the vessel of choice.
The point is whatever you’ve got and whatever suits your floral arrangement fancy is perfect.
Fill vase with tepid water, add one teaspoon of vodka and one teaspoon granulated sugar.
Tepid water allows for quicker water absorption, and the vodka and sugar combination delays wilting.
Drop a copper penny in to the vase to help deter the growth of fungus or bacteria.
Although the decorative post courier mailbox wall accent is not new to the home decor accent market, its popularity is ongoing.
Give it the wall pocket effect and fill it to the brim with your favorite spring floral and greenery stems.
You know it’s spring finds time by the scents and sights of spring in full bloom.
I do love a season that shows out.
