Is It Spring Yet?

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.

After I took our decorations down after Christmas, I arranged a new centerpiece for the winter months...

Another great find from one of my favorite stores, Kennedy's Floral and Gifts...

I thought this would be great for the winter because of all the white and brown...

But now I'm thinking, enough already!  Where is spring?  I had to bring out some of my white tulips to get a feeling that spring is just around the corner.  I even placed some faux daffodils on our kitchen table... 

The forecast had called for all day rain and look what we got instead...

Mr. Cottage and I went to our convention center today to see the Cottage and Lakefront Living Show.  Just seeing boats, flowers, water, docks and even sand made me feel that somewhere, spring is just around the corner.  It's got to be!
