On the door...a great basket (a Goodwill find that looks almost identical to one I saw in a high end catalog) filled with curly willow and faux forsythia...also from GW!
I have to share this with you...the imprint of a leaf in the cement on the porch! Don't you love it? You can see every detail!
My daughter found these wonderful geraniums for me...love the hot pink! I have been hesitating to plant them, but I think I may live dangerously this week and go ahead. I keep waiting for Mother Nature to zap us with that last freeze, but I am beginning to think it might not come! (fingers crossed)
And I hope not since everything is blooming and filled with little tender shoots and buds! My flowering cherry is no exception. And...hey!...I was downloading this photo when I saw something that I did not see when I took the picture. Do you see it?
Yes...a little caterpillar making himself at home among the petals! I guess I am going to quit holding my breath and finally believe that spring has arrived! What about you?
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a little peek at my spring porch! Please visit these wonderful bloggers and their beautiful blogs to see what they are up to and to find a list of this week’s participants!

ReplyDeleteSpring is surely here .
Good Monday MOrning!!...it looks like another gorgeous day here in the ATL.....I love the basket on the front door....it looks terrific. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteGreat little spring display! I love the leaf print too.
ReplyDeleteI love those moments when I looking at my new photo shots and see a "surprise!"
ReplyDeleteThe leaf on the porch...that's your porch? It's pretty cool! Did you just noticed it, or did you already know it was there?
Spring has definitely sprung here in Alabama...but like you, I have a small niggling worry that we'll get a late frost and it will do some damage to all the spring beauty.

Everything looks wonderful! I love all the yellow-it is so fresh and Springy. Those geraniums will really add a nice pop of color for you, too. I am still holding my breath, too. waiting to get zapped by a deep freeze. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWhat fresh and pretty color on your front porch, Debbie! Love the forsythia-filled new basket and the faux daffodils in the lanterns. I get eastern sun all day in my own doorway, so faux is the only way I can go, as well. Your blooms are lovely. It got chilly last nite and the furnace came on this morning! We've been spoiled, but I figured a last minute freeze or chill would occur. :-) Sue
ReplyDeleteGood morning Debbie, your porch looks wonderful! Yes, I love that imprint of the leaf, very cool. Love the basket on your door filled with forsythias too. Have a super week!
ReplyDeleteSpring has definitely sprung on your porch!! Lovely ..the sweet bunny and lantern are so pretty. I adore that yellow forsythia on the door! Happy Spring!

Hi Debbie, Wow, like you I need to get moving for adding a spring welcome on the front. You've given be some great ideas. I have those same lanterns from TJ Maxx, I've gotten a lot of miles with them. The sweet little bunny is right at home there. I love the pretty basket with the forsythia, it really pops on the dark color of the door. The caterpillar in the the cherry blossom made for a snap. Happy spring Debbie.

Your lantern and bunny are so cute. I'm waiting for the pollen to let up a little to decorate. Love the basket on the door. Happy Spring. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little bunny! Love the forsythia in the basket on your door too.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
Deb, Loving the bright pop of yellow on your Spring porch. Your little bunny boy is so adorable. I am gong to attempt to do something Springy on my porch today! xo Kathysue
ReplyDeleteTu porche se ve magnÃfico con esas bonitas flores.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Lovely, Debbie! I have a small area by our front door that little things {like your bunny} might work for me. I caved and bought two huge ferns yesterday at Lowes, but I am still hesitant. I will be watching the weather to bring them in at night if necessary. I'd hate to lose these beauties to a freeze! One is to be planted in our front door urn ~ soon, I hope. Your boxwood is a nice solution to having something that gets hit with sun. My plants used to get fried in the pots I planted in the front of our old house.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, your springtime touches are so welcoming. It is definitely spring here in TX and it's not a late freeze that causes me worry. It is the threat of early summer with extreme heat. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration. Love the shots! ~ Sarah
Love your "all things Spring"...your basket of forsythia on the door is beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether to trust it is really Spring or not. Looks like it might have arrived where you are though.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're all set for spring Debbie! Best of luck with the pretty geranium and I love the leaf in the cement-cool:@)
ReplyDeleteLove your porch Debbie! THe boys have been working on the outside so no prettiness on the door our outside. In fact they told me I needed to gather all my "junk" outside so it wouldn't get painted when they started to spray the house. Imagine them thinking my decorating necessities as junk!

Hi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteIt sure does look like spring at your home. I love how you filled the lanterns with potted flowers. The bunny is adorable looking. The basket is perfect on your front door. The leaf print is so cool. I can't get over your beautiful flowers. Tonight we are going down to the low 30's.

What a sweet little post. From the bunny standing guard on the porch to the leaf impression to the sweet little caterpillar. I gotta get busy on my porch too. It is borderline disgusting right now with all of the pollen. Icky! Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kim
Gorgeous and inviting Spring decor! Inspiring me to decorate my own porch! :)
ReplyDeleteDebbie, Your front door basket is gorgeous!.. and your flowering cherry.. beautiful...even with the caterpillar.
ReplyDeleteAlways LOVE using lanterns as planters in my outdoor decor! Looks beautiful Debbie & Happy Spring!]

Your porch looks amazing Debbie! Very welcoming.
ReplyDeleteI love the basket on the door! It was warm here, and so many trees popping out a month ahead of time. But now we are back to below freezing at night! Hope it doesn't kill off the flowers!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone! Love that basket on the door, the lantern, little bunny, flowers...everything is just perfect and your door is gorgeous! Great job.
ReplyDeleteblessings,
Debbie
The leaf in the concrete is wonderful Debbie.
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty Spring porch.
