Spring is in the Air!

Spring in the world! And all things are madenew! Richard Hovey
Finally. Spring is here!
Ahhh! Spring is in the air!
While it certainly hasn't left much evidence here in NewEngland-no crocuses popping up, no morning birds waking me up, no T's and capri's showing up-there are sure signs that Spring has, indeed, arrived. The snow has melted. New life is on its way!
Spring celebrates, like no other season, all nature risingagain. It is the ultimate symbol of resurrection from death.Many of the traditional symbols that we accept as mereassociation to Spring have roots in the natural cycle of theearth, and as such it is helpful to appreciate their significance when we celebrate Easter.
Baby bunnies, chicks, and birds all symbolize newly borncreatures and remind us of the new birth in Christ. The pastelcolors of lavender, pink, yellow, and blue are traditionalcolors of springtime, but they also shout forth that lifesprings eternal. Eggs are the quintessential symbol of newlife: new life hides under a shell until it literally burstsonto the earth. In the Jewish tradition, eggs also symbolize afree-will offering, or of giving more than is demanded. Andeven the tradition of a new Easter outfit symbolizes theputting away of winter and the bringing forth of freshness andvitality. As Christ burst forth from the tomb, we too becomeclothed in newness.
If you finished spring cleaning your home, you should be ready to bring Spring's freshness and vitality into your home as you decorate for the season.
Bring Nature Inside
Celebrate Spring's glory with fresh flowers.
Gather all your beautiful containers and load them with tulips, hyacinths, crocuses, and daffodils. Set them out all around your home. Put some in the living room, others in the kitchen, more in the front hallway, the children's bedrooms.and don't forget the powder room or most-used bathroom. They add an exuberant splash of color and an intoxicating aroma to your everyday world.
Treat yourself to a new wreath or a basket of flowers or yourfront door.
The minute I put mine out, my whole house takes on adifferent look. Visit your local florist, or check out newarrivals from Williams-Sonoma (www.williams-sonoma.com) or Smith& Hawken (www.smithandhawken.com. Gorgeous wreaths and posies can be found for less than $50. Their freeze-dried flowers used on wreaths not only look fabulous; they will last for years evenunder the harshest of elements. And how about an ivy laced bunnytopiary? Or pink hydrangeas in a watering can by your side door?Arrange them yourself, or buy online for wonderful splashes ofSpring color and whimsy.
Plant flower boxes at your front windows.
Have fun experimenting with different combinations of flowers and colors that not only bring you a visual kick, but with varieties that can withstand the heat and sunlight that hits your front yard.
Decorate an Easter tree.
This year, I used pussy willows, whose buds make perfect nooks from which to hang miniature ornaments. A dozen stems look fabulous in a tall, sleek glass vase. Typically, the kids and I go on a nature walk to find the perfect branch. We put into a pretty blue-and-white china container, cover it up with dirt, and sprinkle in a few rye seeds to grow real grass. Either way, it looks fresh and delightful decorated sparsely with tiny ornaments and with teensy yellow fuzzy chicks and baskets hung on the delicate branches. Surrounded by our family of Easter bunnies, each one named after a family member, the arrangement makes me smile every time I walk past it.
Dye eggs with your kids.
Children of all ages love dyeing eggs. Whether you buy the dyeing kits from your drug store or you use imaginative painting techniques of your own, be sure to add thisto your must-do's during the Easter season. Plant grass seedsin your loveliest container and let the kids water every coupleof days. You should have grass tall enough to hold your dyedeggs by Easter. If that puts you into a panic, go to your localhealth food store and buy wheatgrass. It will look fabulous inyour container. Or place some wheatgrass inside beautiful chinateacups and, along with a few sprigs of fresh, delicate flowers,you will have gorgeous place settings for your Easter brunch.Add a tiny white chocolate bunny as a favor for your guests totake home.
Start planning a neighborhood Easter egg hunt now.
Make up colorful invitations and let your children hand-deliver them to all of your neighbors and friends. Plan a simple brunch menu with plenty of coffee, tea, and OJ. Let your kids start stuffing plastic eggs now, so that by the time your hunt rolls around, you're all set.

Some Do's
Take off all leaves below the water line, otherwise they foul the water.
Try recessing some flowers in order to get depth to your arrangement.
Place a base under a top-heavy arrangement.
Make a circular arrangement in a circular vase.
Use square or oblong containers when angular designs are required.
Crush or split the ends of all woody material before placing it in an
arrangement.
Group varieties and colours instead of dotting them about in the design.
Make sure there is water in the container before commencing the
arrangement, otherwise the stem ends will dry over.
Give your flowers hours of drinking before arranging them. This will make them turgid and help them to last longer.
Make your first placement very firm. The rest of the arrangement
must be built around it.
Remove the leaves from some woody stemmed flowers to allow more water to reach the blooms.
Subtly cover the rim of the vase with drooping material in order to
make the flowers and vase appear as one unit.
Make an arrangement every day and feel the sense of achievement. |
