I spent all weekend working in my yard and it just looks lovely. The Quince is in bloom and the Tulips and Bleeding Heart look great but......today it is snowing and I want to scream! So I decided I needed a quick fix of cheer. The equation for this is add 1 ironstone bowl + 1 package of artificial cherries (courtesy of Target) ==infinite cheeriness for a minimal expenditure. I think the fruit looks surprisingly real. It reminds me of the marble stone fruit you can sometimes still find at rummage sales and in antique stores. Have a cheap and cherry cheerful day. Maybe I will bake a pie. You just can't feel blue when you are eating a slice of home made pastry.
