Spring Forward and a Simple Centerpiece

March 11, 2013  Easter | Uncategorized

 

Eclectically Vintage Spring decorating

In spring when maple buds are red,
We turn the clock an hour ahead;
Which means, each April that arrives,
We lose an hour
Out of our lives.

Eclectically Vintage spring decorating

Who cares? When autumn birds in flocks
Fly southward, back we turn the clocks,
And so regain a lovely thing–
That missing hour
We lost last spring.

by Phyllis McGinley

Eclectically Vintage spring decorating

Although we spring forward in March now, here’s to longer, brighter days filled with flowers, sunshine and happiness.
