Until I can plant real ones . . .

. . . these silk flowers will have to do. The empty bike basket was just adding to the overall gray and gloom of the barren landscape. It might be borderline tacky to have silk flowers as part of my outdoor "garden," but it makes me think of around-the-corner Springtime and the celebration of Easter every time I pull into my driveway and see the blue bike leaning against the tree.

    Not tacky at all! You need a harbinger of spring and those flowers are lovely!

    Nope, not tacky. In fact, I would have totally thought they were real. I love them. Spring can't get here fast enough.

    I've got to start looking for a bike. Your plants look real.

    Dawn, you are BRILLIANT! I love your idea of doing wood circles, and I was already thinking about doing a painting. Combining the two ideas would be perfect. Incorporating small mirrors in the circles might be an option, too. If you were here in person, I would kiss you! :)
