Spring brings color, and no color is as emblematic of the season as yellow.

The color of sunshine. Of zing and zip and zest. Yellow sings “welcome back to life!”

My perfect little cottage, the one that exists (for now) only in my mind is yellow. A delicious mix of lemon and cream. A bashful, mellow yellow .

It’s ringed with blooms that caress the eye and hush the hurried heart.

Their happy faces are irresistible, smiling back at me as they dance in the sun.

There is no such thing as too many flowers.

Dainty blooms belong on the dinner table too. Sweet daisy chains of domesticity. Whispering comfort.

Rooms wreathed in beguiling yellows  enchant the eye. Suffuse the snug rooms with lemony, lyrical contentment.

Yellow is the face of homegrown grace. Cheerful, unhurried, unfurling its charms to passersby.
