April Showers Bring May Flowers








Happy Sunday! I hope everyone has had an amazing weekend. It has been a cold one here in VA. I had to pull out my winter coat to keep warm. Thank goodness the weather didn't kill my plants! I spent the weekend with my boyfriend's family, so I have been away from my house all weekend. The only good thing about being gone from home for a few days is when I return I have lots of things to pick from in the garden. 

I have been getting lots of asparagus lately, but man do I LOVE it! Asparagus is by far my favorite vegetable. I cook my Asparagus in the oven on 350 for 18 minutes. I add olive oil, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. I highly recommend trying it! Also, if you ever want to plant something that keeps growing all summer, asparagus does just that. 

These beautiful May Flowers can brighten up any home. 

Here are a few ways to place your flowers around your home:

1. A table composition made from eggshells and flowers looks really springy and fresh. You can also add green twigs, pebbles, dried flowers, or any other decorations. You can even replace the eggshells with sea-shells of different sizes.

2. Making a wooden box or tray into a hanging shelf is not that hard to do. Such shelves with flower pots inside of them look perfect in country houses or Provence-style kitchens.

3. Any grass or small flowers in a basket will create a cozy atmosphere in your home. Inside, you should put some treated sponge to help preserve the freshness of the plants.

4. Blossoms of an apricot or cherry tree in simple glassware will bring spring right into your home. You can take twigs that only have buds and they will bloom in your house, giving off a sweet smell.

Xoxo,

Skyler
