Spring is absolutely in the air… and covering our car, porch, and every outside surface. The season gifts us watery eyes and frequent sneezing fits– but it’s still one of the best times of the year! 🌿
In our town, there is an extra zip of excitement in the air as we all prepare in some way for the Masters. Because of our kitchen saga, we aren’t renting our home this year but I am pretending otherwise so our little BlueHouse gets cleaned up and organized as it normally would.

Cynthia, I can’t remember if you are in a book club or not, but I am in the stages of creating a seasonal book club (meeting four times a year) for thoughtful women. Our first book will be Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, one of my all-time favorites. If you are interested in receiving more information about coming this way for those, let me know by emailing me!
