It’s April 1st…did you say Jack Rabbit?  Do you have any April Fool’s Day pranks up your sleeve?   Now that it is April, it feels like Spring is truly in the air.  Spring and Summer…my favorite seasons of all.

Here in the DC area, those famous cherry blossoms are in full bloom everywhere you look.  My husband managed to capture the legendary trees from his seat on the school bus on Monday.  Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip….the Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, and my son in the middle of the steps of the Natural History Museum.

Now speaking of Spring…I have a great giveaway to tell you about!  And if you hurry (ends on Friday), you can enter!  Painted White is one of my new blog favorites.  Alice has created a serene place to visit, full of pale, romantic  images and vintage wares.  Her blog is a place where you feel like you are relaxing on a plump couch, without a care in the world and the troubles of life fade away.  Really.  Of course her soft music selection sure helps.  And you’ll have to see the photos of her sweet pup, Renoir.  My Grandmother Rose had a frisky Cairn Terrier too, named Whiskey.  Seeing Renoir sure brings back some great childhood memories.  Oh!….back to that giveaway….

Visit her Spring Renewal post here, leave a comment on her blog, and you can enter to win this lovely set of goodies!  My favorite is that big handmade pomander ball!  I’m getting my name in the hat twice!    I’ve had my eye on this Rose painting…perfect for my future shabby chic studio…and I bought it today. 

Now go and enter!!! 🙂
