Yesterday felt a bit like spring – a tease, given it is February 1, and the coldest weather is likely still to come.

I picked up this Hyacinth at the local Shaws, wrapped originally in shiny red plastic. Replacing the gaudy red with simple brown Kraft paper makes the world of difference. (I keep a roll of this Kraft paper on hand for art  projects with my 3 year old).

Hyacinths always remind me of spring, and their smell is amazing when they bloom, permeating the room. It’s the little things in life.
