Weather is on everyone's mind. It's the topic of conversation. March begins on Sunday and it will be in the mid 20's here in New York City. I'm tired of the blacks, grey, browns of my surroundings. But I am filling up with Spring hope with colors starting to come out. Although the bulbs I planted are 12 inches underground, maybe more. I can still find some pleasure online.

Sugared lavender flowers and citrus tarts are tasty ways of bringing energy into my home.

This weekend go buy some oranges, lemons, limes or grapefruits and arrange them in a vase or bowl as a centerpiece. Bring warmth into your home and your hands.
