Happy Easter Monday! I hope your holiday was joyful, filled with family, friends and plenty of grace. It’s beautiful in the northeast right now with everything starting to bloom. It’s a pleasure to drive down a winding road surrounded by splashes of vibrant color. I love the rebirth of spring, especially after the drab charcoals and grays of winter. It fills me with new energy to be out and about…and that doesn’t just relate to the natural world.
Today, I’ve got hot seat at Story Empire, sharing a post for those times when you’re out and about promoting your work—at a book signing. “Spring” over if you can and check it out! 🙂

My wardrobe is made up mostly of blues and purples. And I love lilacs. They resonate “spring” 🙂

The lovely lilac you posted brightens my Monday, as the weather over here is cold and it’s been raining for 2 days. The fire is still burning in our terracotta stove, so….. I am heading to SE.
Have a lovely vacation!

Brr! It sounds chilly and damp there, Carmen. We’ve have beautiful temps but I think rain is moving in later in the week…just in time for me to leave on vacation 🙂

The weather was so beautiful. On Easter I even laid out for a while. The colder temps are moving in for a few days, but it looks like winter is finally over. Yay! Hope you had a lovely Easter, too, Mae.

Fantastic brilliant lilacs, MC! We’ve been trying to grow them here, but the heat and the clay soil do not suit.

I love lilacs, but I have an appalling lack of a green thumb. Hence the photo, LOL.
I hope yours thrive. Thanks for visiting!
