From the Front Porch: Spring Flowers Edition

Hello from the front porch, sweet friends, welcome to the Spring Flowers edition of this weekly series.

Thanks so much for being here and for making us a part of your day!

How has your week been?

After a few days of wet and rainy weather, we’re back to sunshine and blue skies which feels like the perfect way to welcome new rhythms as we adjust to the time change.

And while we’ve decided to prioritize house projects over seasonal decorating this year, I’m looking forward to refreshing a few spaces, planting flower containers, garden boxes and *fingers crossed* finishing the porches.

One of the things that makes me most excited about the spring season is seeing all the wildflowers pop up.

Our yard is currently covered in tiny little yellow flowers, and I look forward to seeing them every day.

I know we’ll have to mow soon. For now though, I’m going to soak up these simple tokens of joy that were seemingly scattered unbeknownst to us by the birds and the coastal winds.

Small reminders of hope we desperately needed this week but didn’t know existed until they started to bloom.

So, as we enter the middle of the month, I encourage you to look for the small reminders of kindness, joy, and hope popping up in your life too.

Especially if you’re in the thick of it.

For those small reminders can serve as a visible token to keep the faith when you need it most.

And thankfully, they’re always right on time.
