Welcome, March

I'm ready for you. Ready to be done with Winter and gloves and hats and feeling like I ought to be wearing a scarf. (I'm warm enough, Mom, I have an awesome hat. More to come on that later, I'm sure. I love my hat.)

And it probably doesn't hurt that my horoscope (I'm a scorpio) was incredibly positive for March. 6 planets in my House of Love! Still - 6 planets in my House of Love! My aspect (ratio?) hasn't been this good since 1998-1999 so, bring it March! I expect good things.

I'm ready for you, even though a sunny day isn't quite coming in like this:

and I am concerned this means you will not know to tiptoe out like this in a few weeks:

Sidenote: I think pictures of real baby animals would be adorable and not puke-inducing decor for a nursery. Check out this one too!

Both photos are from Sharon Montrose's etsy store and came to my attention through A Cup of Jo - http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SharonMontrose Swoon. And paired with my new favorite paint color, courtesy of http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/roundup-magazines/a-cool-and-elegant-renovation-for-a-little-kitchen-country-living-110008, Atmosphere Blue from Restoration Hardware, wouldn't it make a darling room? Sweet and soothing and satisfyingly gender-neutral even though it's blue. I decorate in my daydreams. But still, wouldn't it be adorable and not at all cloying? Maybe this blog will be my version of filing ideas away because I'm definitely nowhere near pregnant.

Who knows where this will go. . . (Hopefully somewhere where I can learn those nifty hyperlinks rather than real links. For now, you're stuck with this.)
