Deck your front door with the heralds of spring --- not robins, but forsythia branches!
I love to greet the spring with a fresh facelift to the exterior of my home. The pine greenery is long gone, and spring is the time to bring out the colorful blooms that indicate warmer weather is on the way!
Try selecting a bunch of colorful silk blooms from your local craft store -- I use some realistic looking forsythia branches, some tall pussywillow branches, and a selection of silk hydrangeas, crocuses, and daffodils in a an assortments of blues, violets, pinks and yellows. Artistically arrange the stems in large planter pots (I use the faux concrete ones) filled with dirt.
Place a pot on either side of your front door or your front stoop, and tuck in some some feathery green grasses (real or faux) to fill any holes in the display.
