Spring Has Sprung, But I'm Still Stuck In Winter

Today marks the start of spring, but if you took a look around my house, you'd think it's still February.  I've blogged before about how I like to keep my house decorated for the seasons.  Because I hate taking down my Christmas decorations, I get myself through the winter months by leaving a few snowmen around the place.  By the time Valentine's Day rolls around, I have a mixture of hearts and snowmen remaining, but usually take everything down by March.

That's not the case this year. Somehow, I've gotten behind. Maybe I could chalk it up to the wedding planning that's at a fever pitch. Regardless, when I heard Phil Schreck announce that today is the start of spring, it was a real wake-up call for me.  Where are my Easter eggs and springtime wreaths? Still in the closet. I'm sure those snowmen figurines around my house are thinking I forgot about them.

Thank goodness it's supposed to be a fairly nice weekend. It will be the perfect weather to get me in the mood for adding a little springtime to my decor and putting away those winter decorations until the snow flies!
