Hello friends!
If you know me well, you know that I'm a Spring & Summer girl! I have to force myself outside if it's even remotely cold or dreary. Lucky for me, this past winter in the North Georgia/Western North Carolina mountains was a mild one and temperatures are already in the 70s (a little unusual for this time of year, but I love it!). The first day of Spring was this past Tuesday (March 20th) and folklore says "Don't say that spring has come until you can put your foot on nine daisies." Well...... it's safe to say that Spring has arrived! Yay!! It's time to play!
