Tulips and Daffodils First Signs of Spring Decorating With Vases and Flowers

Tulips and Daffodils are the first signs of spring.  I like to celebrate with a tablescape of a special tulip vase with pink and red tulips.  

Daffodils pop up in our yard with flowers of yellow and white.  

They are a special flower because once you plant they come up each year.  It makes it a perineal.  

 I collect tulip vases because I love the flower so much.  I put the vase on a crystal pedestal for height.

Changing vases and flowers with the season brings joy.  

Daffodils grow in groups with green stems.  

I found this tulip vase at an estate sale in the area.  I have no idea how old it is but love the colours of pink and red.  

Snow in Texas Garden Watching Blue Jays

 It's an historic snowstorm across the United States.  I'm feeling grateful for a warm home to live in.  But you wonder what happens to the birds?

I like to feed them because they are extra cold.

Blue Jays come in groups to get the peanuts.

They call out to the other birds there is food on the table and ground.

The sun came out and the snow is melting.
