Shades of green in mint and sage. Sprigs of berries with their bright pops of blush and deep blue. Shiny blacks and cheery yellows.
Some must-do field trips at this time of year include pretty nurseries, farmer's markets, roadside berry stands, and sprawling flower fields. Going hand-in-hand with these trips are some lovely activities - planting your own little herb garden (it's so lovely to be able to use your own fresh herbs in your Spring table concoctions), learning how to arrange flowers, baking with berries - Spring offers such a wealth of beauty, doesn't it?
What are some of your must-sees and must-dos for Spring?

I have to drink my water with lemon or lime in it all spring and summer.. I don't know why. Just feels more like the season that way :)
oh wow!!look at that pavlova!!tdf!
Spring time always makes me want to go to the local fruit stand, the one that was closed for the long cold winter. It's always ncie to see the fresh pickings!
We also have a mini - hike nearby that I love walk at the first sign of spring time!
Kind Regards,

What beautiful images Dionne!
I can't wait for the farmers markets to begin sprouting up everywhere!
So beautiful!!!
It is so impressive how you find the time to garden, cook, photograph, blog, design and live well while doing it. Gorgeous photos!
this so makes me want to get my garden together!
I definitely want to learn how to garden. That seems like such a wonderful and fulfilling thing to do.
I'm going to have to agree with you! Farmer's markets and beautiful fields of flowers are must-sees. With spring being here, I know summer is only around the corner, which is what I'm looking forward too as well. Time to put all the cold season clothing away, and say hello to all the pretty skirts and dresses!
WOW these look so amazing! So refreshing and light looking!

This time of the year is picnic time for Indiana. My friends and I planned for a Saturday picnic but decided on this coming Saturday in hopes of better weather.
I'm certainly with CM about the pretty skirts and dresses! Because I'm only 20, I also throw in simple shorts and soft graphic tees (the poet line from Aerie) for those too casual summer days of doing summer reading outside.
i've been dying to get a little herb garden and maybe a tomato plant. i need to do it!!
How I wish to have my own herb garden!
I always love your photos and illustrations :) and the last two pics make me hungry!
Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog :)
A big hug,
Mary
I have never tried the pavlona, must definitely! great herb garden would love a small one
i love late evening walks when the sun is still out at 7 p.m. and the weather is warmer..i also love the smell of jasmine wafting through the air.
Yesterday, we found a beautiful floral shop/market in downtown Chicago. So fun.
Your pavlova is amazing. Can you share the recipe?
Fondly,
Glenda
I have to pick berries and eat beautiful things like what you have pictured at the bottom. Flowers aren't bad either.
I clean out my closets every spring.
You're so right, spring is beautiful! It's so easy to get caught up in our busy lives and miss that beauty. But I'm definitely looking forward to going to the farmer's markets this year!
I love the potted green picture. I'm so into that stuff lately. Your pictures are so lovely.

I'm so inspired after being in California and can't wait for Spring to bloom here. I've been plotting how to transform our little deck. Hanging lanterns, potted plants and an herb garden seem like a great start.
A spring time must do for me lately has been seriously wanting to do a picnic, I love the idea of a shaded area underneath a large tree with a big blanket that you keep just for that purpose and some pillows and for the spread some ice tea, crackers, grapes and berries, && cheese mmm :)
Spring really is such a magical season -- and so many delicious desserts to make! Berry picking is on my to-do list, as well as picnicking in the park (that's happening this weekend). And finishing school. I'm really excited about that.
the smell of fresh air, the flowering trees, the gorgeous tulips, warm sunshine...the green lawns...the bird chirping...i absolutely love Spring too...i esp. love your photo of the string of green peas...simply beautiful!
Mmmm...I love that delicious little dessert treat there! Those berries look positively divine :)

Beautiful pics! :)
I well remember springs in Michigan. We spent so much time at nurseries this time of year. Picturing, planning, planting. I do miss it.
But I don't need to miss a pavlova! How utterly divine is that? I can almost taste the crunch and berries. :)
WOW! This dessert looks so delicious and beautiful too.
My mouth is watering just looking at the photo. (-:
Lovely post Dionne!
Have a lovely weekend!
These pictures are beautiful and that Pavlova looks AMAZING! Yum...
