We had lots of rain this morning, which is great for our spring flowers. Speaking of flowers, I’ll be planting some special ones for our front porch over the weekend. Hope to share results with you next week! Yesterday I starting planning which plants go in which container. You can spy on one my chicken helpers taking a funny break on my instagram post.

In honor of Earth Day, here are a few shots I took with my phone of spring emerging in our town. No matter how busy my schedule gets, I always try to stop and appreciate nature, even if it’s only for a few minutes. It does wonders for the soul.
I never tire of seeing our white picket fences in Seaside.

Noticed these pretty blooms in the dunes during an early morning beach stroll right after school drop-offs.

Peter and I were able to sneak in a quick breakfast date in the pretty courtyard at Hybiscus Cafe in Grayton earlier this week. A favorite spot of ours!

And I always love the flowery spot outside of The Pizza Bar in Seaside (by-the-way, they have a delicious menu and true Italian-style pizza).

I’m ready for a flowery weekend of sun and fun. Love this lovely study of gardening supplies by stylist Aliki Kirmitsi.

Really trying to pull out of my black thumb status and work on planting more pretty things in our yard and porch. I don’t yet have a tote to carry around the handy tools that I’m slowly starting to acquire. This little gardening tote looks perfect. Love the navy and canvas combo.

Happy Earth Day!
