Spring Time Wreath

It may be officially Spring
but here in Michigan it is25 degrees today.
My hands were freezing while standing outside,
 adding the final touches to my Spring Time Wreath.
Here it is....


I used Red Geraniums and white daisies.
The YELLOW tulips just cry out Spring Time.


Oh, how I want the wreath to warm up.


Gotta love the Red and White polka dot bow...


Well for now the only Spring Time I'm going to enjoy
 is my new wreath.

The weather man says cold weather is staying put
through next week!

Hope it's warm where you are at.

 come and follow...
