Flower Power

Spring has definitely sprung. Thanks to the cold spells in North Carolina recently, everything seems to be blooming and pollinating at once. It's exciting and energizing. And VERY sneeze worthy.

Tulips are blooming, not in a botanical garden, but outside ManO's office. 

My favorite flower lady is back at Western Wake Farmer's Market.

My daughter spruced up one of her dad's childhood wagons as a planter. Like Mother like daughter.

The Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC, a staple of my childhood, is in full bloom this week. I love looking at the pictures on line and will get back in person one day.

Taking a cue from the tulips and cherry blossoms, I got my Spring haircut and added a streak of pink, much to my granddaughter's consternation.

Um, back to flowers, I pulled out my grandmother's china, the perfect plates for Spring. What's crazy is a friend of mine, Amy, has similar plates she displayed for Easter on Facebook. I put mine up (Amy's is left, mine is right) and other folks started showing off their floral china. So many similarities. Apparently it was a pretty popular pattern back in the day.    

So, how has spring sprung in your neighborhood, in your house, on your table, with your hair?
