Dirt Road Adventures: Daffodils, Easter & Spring Inspiration
Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures here at the end of our Dirt Road.
Hey Friends,
Welcome to March 2025. Wow, did you get Spring fever this past week? Here in the South, we experienced some warm, balmy days and definitely felt all the Spring vibes. The daffodils are not just budding but are in full bloom. I see some yellow buds on my forsythia plants and even a few buds on some fruit trees. I decided to replace the paper white blooms in the rustic DIY coffee table centerpiece with some of the fresh flowers.
However, reality returned today with daytime temperatures dropping back to the 40’s. Brrr… Oh, well, there will be only 18 more days until spring is official. I just hope Mother Nature gets the message!

Adventures at the End of the Dirt Road
This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.
Okay, so it was a busy week with many appointments and other obligations that kept us hopping. We had an appointment to learn how to use all the safety features on our new car, which took up almost a full day. We are still in awe of all the safety features.
With the little time we had left over, I managed to check a few more projects off my list. I hope you enjoyed these Spring decorating projects.
