Spring Wreath

I've been looking at posts and Pinterest of beautiful Spring and Easter decorations and I figured it was about time that I did something to welcome the new season.

Now, it really does not feel like Spring here in South Florida - more like the middle of summer but the calendar says Spring - so let's pretend the temperatures are in the 70's and not pushing 90 - okay???

I put this wreath together one night a couple of weeks ago and did not take the first picture, but it really was not hard to do.  

I took a standard grapevine wreath from Walmart and a couple of sprigs of faux forsythia and about ten minutes later I had the wreath.  

I didn't use my glue gun at all - just cut the sprigs off the main stalk and stuck them in the wreath.

Easy!

Last fall Mountain Man installed a hook on our metal front door to hang my fall wreath from - so, to get a wreath to hang in the correct place, I have to add ribbon and then the ribbon has to hang on the front of the door - thus the bow to cover the hook.

So, that is the extent of our Spring decorating.  

I apologize that this is not a very extensive post - actually I have been at the hospital with my mom all week - two days and one night in Lakeland and then I come home for one night - then back  for another two days and one night.  (For some of you that don't know  - that is a two hour drive one way.)  The doctors still have not determined what is wrong but they are running some more tests tomorrow.  Hopefully we will know more after they are completed. If not, I'll continue this crazy schedule next week.

Before I sign off for the weekend I did want to show you my new look.  Two weeks ago I went to the beautician and went from 

this

to this -

Can we say short?!?

So, what do you think????

Do you like the new "do" or do you think I really messed up?

I can say that, so far, it has been much easier to take care of and with my schedule this past week I'm really glad it's short!  

(Please forgive the quality of the photo - Mountain Man is a lot of things but  photographer is not one of them!)

Well, that's it for today - leave a comment and let me know what you think of the haircut.

In the meantime, I hope that you all have a fantastic weekend and I will "see" you Monday with the Monday Menu.

Hugs -

Carol
