I am in love with all things spring. I've been busier than the bees and the butterflies and outdoors almost as much as they. I wish I could say it was all for leisure, but there are so many things to do here just now that I've been working, working, working and I can't wait to share some of the things I've been doing here on the farm.
On this particular day when I took these photos, however, it was Easter and I did nothing but chat with family, eat a delicious meal, and be thankful for this most holy of holy days signifies. While we were on my parents' farm, we stopped by the crab apple tree to look at the blossoms and enjoy the sunset. Last year this tree succumbed to the frost and had not a single blossom. It has more than made up for it this year though, and it's added several feet in height since I saw it last as well.
No matter what's going on, I do think it's important to stop and smell the flowers so to speak. This comfy old quilt has been in the family for years and I love the way it feels to curl up here and read a book. A little picnic and a glass of champagne never hurt either, though I didn't indulge on this day since we'd already spent the afternoon feasting.
As you can tell, this gorgeous Teuta Matoshi gown is my latest acquisition from my new favorite designer. It's gorgeous shade of blue, lovely layers, and loads of glittery hearts, I absolutely adore this dress. Ugh, I just can't get enough of these gowns! They're so gorgeous and after wearing one, I hate my regular clothes.
I wish I could wear a gorgeous gown at least every week if not everyday. I know that's impractical for a farm girl, but that's never stopped me before.
This particular Ocean Draped Hearty Dress was my Easter dress this year and while we didn't get to hunt eggs this year, I did feel quite festive and like I was looking my best.
This was truly a jolly holiday. I love all the holidays where we're expected to dress up and look our best to celebrate. In my humble opinion, there should be more of them. Hmmmm, maybe I'll challenge myself to do one gorgeous gown per holiday this year. Or maybe I'll let my bank account have a nice long holiday of its own. Let's face it, it needs a break.
