Springtime on My Table

Another weekend flew by way too quickly and Monday is again upon us!
I do hope your weekend was a good one.
~
So according to the weather man,
we are to have some of the coldest temperatures of the winter this week.
Well...after all, it is still only early February...
...and we know what comes in February, many times right around Valentine's Day.

Snow.

They say we may get a little of it this week, although I'm rather doubtful...
...but I do have fond memories of that snowy Valentine's Day a couple of years ago.
~
But though it may be cold outside, it's springtime on my dining room table!

Leave it to my sweet hubby to bring me fresh flowers.



And on a regular basis, I might add.
You can believe me when I tell you it's not because I am this awesome wife...


...in fact, many times I feel quite unworthy.
(another post for another time :))
The pink carnations were actually left over from the last bunch.
Carnations do seem to last forever...

...well, maybe not forever but you know what I mean :)
~
As much as I wouldn't mind seeing another bit of snow,
these lovely pastel shades were screaming SPRING to me loud and clear...


...and the anticipation of fresh new life and everything else that accompanies the season.


As fast as time flies, it will be here before we know it!


So as we all patiently wait, have a fabulous week! 
(I guess I should be getting rid of these snowflakes soon, huh?)

  3. A man does not take flowers to one he does not think the world of. What a keeper he is! I am sure you deserve all the flowers you receive.

    Debby, thank you for the reminder that Spring is just around the corner. And I have to say, your hubby is a romantic fool - but his wife is worth it, I promise!

  20. Your flowers are just soooo pretty. We have 60 degree weather this week. Our spring seems to have come early. I think we only had snow one time in February here. I can't imagine living with such cold temps for so long.
    Stay warm.

  22. How nice, Debby. The flowers are so fresh and cheerful. The best snow is the one that doesn't last long. Lol I'm more experienced in the everlasting snow variety. xo

  24. Spring time...yes please! I am so ready for colors and warm sunshine. ☺
    It has been very cold here and I am ready for something else. Did I mention warmer?
    I love your flowers...they are so pretty! I've been hinting for flowers for my birthday, but I think I have a better chance at buying them myself.
    I hope you have a lovely week and Happy Valentine's Day!
    Hugs, Amy

  29. How lovely and cheery!
    And sweet of that hubby. Mine does the same. Years and years ago I was telling my mom I wished he wouldn't because we couldn't afford that luxury. She said "don't you ever tell him to stop! Just enjoy the gift and let him show how much he loves you!" Wise words.

  31. Oh what a sweet hubby! (I did a typo at first. I typed sweet "huggy." I bet he's that too! What a precious man you have. The table is beautiful. I'll take the pitcher and bowl off your hands if you'd like:) Your photos only get better and better. The table, almost as lovely as you.

  44. Soft, delicate, dainty, and oh-so-beautiful, my friend. The pastel colors of your flowers brought a smile to my face :)

    Thanks for sharing with Roses of Inspriation. Have a lovely Valentine's Day! Hugs to you, dear one!

  45. Dearest Debby~~It was time for me to pop over and see your loveliness, and loveliness in deed! That gorgeous bouquet certainly shouts out spring!
    Your dear husband has picked beauty that reflects you. :-)
    I stand in awe of your graceful photography. Gorgeous!!

    I went to see your "snowy Valentine's Day" and that heart shaped cheery drop was awesome. When I first saw it I thought you did it on purpose, and those snowflakes were something else. Only our Great Creator has the ability to design such beauty.

    It was so good to visit with you, my friend.
    I am still enjoying my time sitting at the feet of Jesus. January was all that I had prayed for, and February has been just as wonderful.
    My return will be when the Lord directs, until then I am resting in His care.

    Have a beautiful Valentine's and much love to you.

    Blessings~~ Debbie
