This has been a mighty warm winter, and most of us are already feeling spring fever. How we enjoy throwing our doors open and letting the fresh air in- both literally and figuratively.  It is time to monopolize on the renewed energy for life that Spring inspires.  After the long drought and winter, our eyes have tired of all things dormant. While nature works her magic, we too have some sprucing up to do: it is time to do our part to breathe new life into these beautiful hills!

 At River House, we completely flipped the store in honor of Spring, giving us a feeling of newness and fun.  We have pulled all things winter, and are enjoying the new spring and summer accessories as they arrive from market.  At the EmilyAnn Theatre we have broken ground for the new Education and Performance Complex, making way for year round classes, performances and community events.  Yes, this energy feels great!

 At home we all have several little projects that, once tackled, will keep our spirits high.  Tending to the art on our walls can be a great place to start, especially after this dusty drought. Gently cleaning and possibly shuffling  those treasured works from wall to wall, or room to room can really make our homes feel fresh. A trip to Lorrie Dunk's LT Frame Shop can provide much needed solutions, solving pet peeves (not all frames are wonderful), and enlivening some deserving pieces.  With the Wimberley Art Fest on the horizon in April, now is also a good time to take note of spaces where a new piece might be just the ticket!

 Decide what is important to you and go for it!  My plan this year is to search high and low for a long table for my covered porch - one that can accommodate many more friends than the one I now have.  What's on your list now that spring has sprung?
