As a girl raised in North Carolina I don’t remember a winter being as cold and as long as this last one (well except for the 4 years I was a student at Appalachian State).  I cannot tell you how much I’ve enjoyed the blooming flowers and the budding trees this spring.  It has been soooo wonderful. One of my favorite trees are the Red Buds – I guess I like them because they are one of the first to bloom and to signal that Spring is here.

I’ve had the idea for a tea party with her favorite friend, Lambie, for some time. We finally made the time.
