Okay, my apologies to Rogers & Hammerstein, but I really want to rewrite that Carousel lyric! Things don’t wait until June around here to start bustin’ out ~ try to stop a wildflower from blooming when the temperatures approach 80 degrees. While we don’t have any wildflowers on property, we do have lots of these lovely trees …
… and a few happy pansies …
… and over in The Boutique, where staff is busy stocking up on spring Hatley apparel and a couple of new jewelry lines, we’ve also received the Vera Bradley spring colors …
I’m holding on until early May, when the color I want (Make Me Blush) is scheduled to be delivered in the style I want (Cha Cha Handbag).
I always try to keep up with what’s going on around the county, too. Here’s a great calendar to bookmark for Pigeon Forge and Sevier County events. Springfest starts today ~ and we’ll be bringing Santa to the Dolly parade as always. Wildflower walks, trout fishing, classic car shows, and lots and lots of music – it’s great to be in East Tennessee as winter becomes a memory. (I will say, though, that there is still plenty of white stuff visible on the far mountain peaks. At least it’s there today. I’ll check again tomorrow.)
