Winter in Wisconsin is beautiful with no doubt. But, after the snow has stayed for weeks upon weeks and the temperature drops into the single digits or worse, negative digits, we start longing for the spring rains and fresh colors that warm our hearts. Well, I can't promise an early spring but I can offer you a reprieve on the lack of beauty, color and fragrances you are desiring. So come on over and breath in a little beauty. 
Floral Expressions has just got in some lovely primroses and campanula plants that are brightening our shop. Green plants can also add energy to our homes. If you are not into caring for plants add a simple cut flower arrangement in the corner or on the kitchen table. The beauty and fragrance of fresh cuts will definitely bring your state of mind to ease. Even the single stem of a gerbera daisy can make a person smile inside despite the weather outside.If you enjoy experimenting, check out some of the old posts of forcing branches to bloom inside.
I hope some of these ideas you can use to help you through these winter months. Remember spring is on it's way! Enjoy some time in front of a fireplace or hovering over a hot cup of chocolate, tea or coffee. Breath in and linger for a while in the enjoyment of the little things.
