Spring Colors
I love spring—some of my favorite flowers, specifically lilacs and hyacinth, bloom in spring. A few years ago, while driving around L.A. with my friend Heather in May, I asked her, “What are those purple trees we keep seeing?” Surprisingly, they were tall lilac trees, as opposed to the shorter lilac bushes found here in Omaha.
The colors of lilac and hyacinth appear in this magazine, as do those of eggplant, honey, and melon (sometimes in clever ways). The photos of the residences in this edition of OmahaHome made me smile as I looked at images of striped pillows and couches, collections of penguins, and a variety of chairs.
The Spaces article this month is one dear to my heart—a screened-in front porch filled with color, and cats. My own home has a screened-in porch on which I spend hours creating brightly colored mandalas and other artwork. As soon as the thermometer shows a reasonable number (around 50 degrees), I open the door to the porch, and my cats follow me into the sunlight.
One of my favorites this month is a feature on the home of Katie and Craig LeDoux. This vibrant couple is full of artworks by creators from cities in which they have lived, from Washington, D.C., to Omaha.
When it’s too cold to sit outside, I sit inside reading and drinking warm water with a tonic of ginger, lemon, and honey. Ginger is full of antioxidants, and it can grow right here in Omaha. The Green article is all about superfoods.
There are so many great articles in this issue. I hope you enjoy them all.
