dreaming of spring

it's still full-blown 

winter here in michigan

and i'm finding myself 

dreaming of brighter days full of new buds, 

the smell of spring rain and barefeet

bugs, baby birds, sidewalk chalk, and lemon water

i know too well that my 

dreaming is getting ahead of itself

but pinterest sure puts me in the 

springy mood.

maybe there will be 

a miracle and it won't 

be months before i experience 

these beautiful things...

this just looks heavenly doesn't it?

image

i want to hang these up

in every nook and cranny of my house

image

i want to spend the whole afternoon

here with my kids

image

i want to make these with my babes

and watch their amazement as birdies flutter and fly

image

i want to pick these up

at the local farmer's market

image

i want a giant bowl of these

for months to come

and a little something

{for myself}

image

a new spring hair-do

lighten it up!

image

a perfect dress

image

and of course

a new pair of these
