“For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
1 Corinthians 10:26
Hello sweet friends! I am so excited that Spring will be arriving on Wednesday, I know everyone is ready. It is the third Monday of the month which always means it is Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends. With all things spring on my mind, I have created a little garden of spring bulbs…no need for a sweater because we are indoors!
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold, when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.
-Charles Dickens
Springtime in the South is usually a mixed bag of weather!
You will find the links for Shirley, Lidy, and Mary at the bottom of this post.
Our common theme for today is spring bulbs. I gathered tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and grape hyacinths to provide a breath of spring on my dining table!
I placed a burlap runner on my dining room table and filled a rustic box with potted grape hyacinths, a pink hyacinth, and miniature daffodils. A couple of moss bunnies decided to visit the garden by way of TJ Maxx!
One of the bunnies was smitten with the fragrance of the hyacinths!
Since potted tulips were unavailable, I used cut tulips and simply placed in a pretty pink jar.
Grape hyacinths appear as tiny clusters of blue pearls with somewhat floppy leaves and are an early spring bloomer. They are not a true hyacinth, but a member of the lily family.
Do you see my moss pot? Most of you know I am not a DIY blogger, but I did make this moss pot which was so easy. When I was a young newlywed I signed up for every craft class that was available…decoupage, stain glass, cross-stitch, and smocking just to name a few. I guess you can say, it was not my cup of tea, but I do admire my blogging friends that handle a DIY with so much ease.
Spring: a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can truly be.

Tete-a-Tete daffodils are miniature flowers, but planted in mass make a lovely showing in the garden.
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.
Audrey Hepburn
“For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.”
The Song of Solomon 2:11-12
With a little tweaking, my garden table will be in service for a spring buffet!
The heady fragrance of hyacinths is uniquely spring. They are a perfume powerhouse in the garden or on my dining room table!

Pam, This is SO beautiful! I love your moss bunnies mixed with your potted bulbs and mossy pots of blooms! I love muscari and can usually count on the garden center at Walmart to have little pots of it for $1 but I was out of luck this time. I love fragrance of hyacinths too, I agree it is a perfume powerhouse! My Potting Shed is full of their fragrance which is a good thing, after being closed up for the winter thanks to the blooms. You found the perfect scripture in Song of Solomon to welcome spring and appropriate for ‘after the rain’! Thanks for the beauty and flower therapy this morning. ♥
Thank you dear Mary. A week of sunshine is a welcomed change!
Pam….oh how beautiful…Spring is definitely in the air in that beautiful dining room and the most adorable moss bunnies are a joy to see! I so love the quotes of Spring, Dickens, Hepburn, however, the scripture from the Song of Solomon said it best! You always uplift us with such beauty and inspiration and thank you for this! I cannot wait to get to the garden centers and plant some things on the porch (my only Spring planting area this year). Another Monday Morning Blooms day filled with joy and happy!! Have a wonderful day and Happy Spring.
Thank you dear Shirley. I will be looking forward to your spring porch!
This is so delightful Pam! Those moss bunnies are just adorable! Love your moss pot to and the flowers blooming down the center of your table is gorgeous! the moss is so pretty against your beautiful table…I think Spring has finally really arrived! Enjoy this week of sunshine! What a wonderful way to begin the week, with Monday Morning Blooms!
Jenna
Thank you Jenna! I am excited for a week of sunshine!
Oh, my! This is just beautiful! And, I think your DIY skills are perfectly in tact, sweet friend! I love the verse you shared from Song of Solomon. It so accurately describes springtime. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you so much Cheryl! I love the verse from Song of Solomon❤️
My hyacinths and daffodils are blooming now too! I am delighted with the spring color, and it should warm up enough by the end of the week to go hiking.
And, your table is just beautiful!!
Thanks Carole!
Carole, I know seeing the signs of spring are a welcomed sight! Hiking sounds great as well.
Such a beautiful tablescape to well Spring.
Thank you so much for your visit!
So springy! I bet it smells lovely. Your moss pot turned out great!
Thank you Penny, it was actually quite easy to do! Happy Monday!
Pam, your table is beautiful. I love, love the moss bunnies. One looks like he is poised to nibble in the flowers, just like they do here in my garden! This week I had a beautiful fox, wild turkeys, and more deer strolling down the driveway…everything is definitely waking up around here. Echoing everyone else who said your quotations are perfect. I’m writing all of them down in my book of quotations.
Thank you dear Roxanne. Wild turkeys and deer are daily visitors here, and they seem to be everywhere now. There has been a population explosion for sure! Have a wonderful week!
Pam, a lovely post. Truly, glorious from beginning to end. Love the blooms, so love the bunnies, and wonderful quotes. Hope you are seeing blue skies, we had a bit of snow here this morning, but spring is about to arrive. Have a wonderful day and week, sweet friend. ❤
Thank you Sandra. Blue skies are such a welcome relief and I am joyfully awaiting spring’s arrival on Wednesday! Happy Monday sweet friend❤️
Pam, I love your Spring flowers and they are definitely announcing Spring has Sprung. The moss bunnies are adorable and all your blooms are gorgeous. Fresh yellow tulips in a pretty pink jar made me smile. Your quotes are so “you” and perfect. I always like Matthew 6, 28,29 ‘Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these!” Flowers and blooms bring me joy and peace. Thank you for your beautiful dining room table display. Hugs sweet friend
Thank you Kari. I also love the scripture found in Matthew 6, the Sermon on the Mount chapters are so rich! Wishing you a great week sweet friend.
Don’t you love moss bunnies? I do! And combined with your spring bulb blooms they are simply perfect. I bought some tulips yesterday and maybe more or daffs. I don’t want to get ones that are ALL OUT but still have some life to come! SO pretty — you inspire.
Jeanie, thanks so much. I do love moss bunnies!
I just love this bright and cheery table! Makes me want to bring my moss bunnies back out and grab some burlap for an outdoor table no matter what the temperature is outside.
Thank you Christine. Unfortunately, we are expecting frost tonight!
Oh I love your table! I see Spring all over your beautiful table! Happy Day to you dear lady. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you Cindy. Have a great week!
I am still amazed at how the new wall color I the dining room has absolutely transformed this room. The spring decor really stands out and is so adorable and refreshing. I really needed this right now, I am looking at snow in the cherry and apple orchards and longing for the blossoms. Maybe by Easter
Thank you Maureen. We are expecting frost tonight, so some of my budding roses and bushes will be impacted for sure.
Pam, Your table is magnificent & perfect for Spring! The moss bunnies, spheres & the colorful variety of spring flowers in the rustic box are just beautiful. The scripture is perfect! I love the bunny bowl with the moss spheres & your DIY moss pot looks great! The yellow tulips are such a pretty hue. We are so excited & thankful to have sunshine! Happy Spring! Clara ❤️??
Clara, the sunshine has been beautiful today. We are expecting frost tonight and I fear that my Lady Banks and Snowballs will be bitten. They are much too large to attempt to cover. Wishing you a joy-filled week!
Pam, This is gorgeousI love your sweet moss bunnies mixed with your pots of bulbs. I love mascara but could not find any here, so I am so happy to see that you DID. Everything looks beautiful, a perfect reflection of spring, and the scripture is a favorite. Thank you so much for sharing not just your talents and beauty but also your heart, friend. xoxo Lidy
Thank you dear Lidy. It is such a pleasure to be encouraged and inspired by you. You are truly a blessing! xoxo

Our three visits to Italy were wonderful! Welcome back!
