Spring is officially HERE!! The first day of spring is March 20. We have had beautiful days recently. I don't think I will find spring weather though in Ireland and England. I have packed for the cold! According to the AccuWeather site, it will be in the 40s and 50s next week in Ireland. So, I guess I will be taking my boots instead of my flip flops!!
Last Friday when our friends were visiting, we went to Old Salem in Winston Salem and had a wonderful day. The cherry trees were in bloom and were just spectacular! Check out my blog heading - it was made with My Digital Studio and pictures I took of the blooming trees! Here are a few more pictures from our visit.

The year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven -
All's right with the world!
