spring in NC




Just back from another quick trip down to Raleigh, where spring has unfolded into a glorious burst of color. My childhood home looks like Emerald City—a jade-green lawn dotted with azalea bushes and dogwood trees. We snipped a few blooms to bring my dad a little piece of the yard that he loved so much (so much so that he forced Tim and me to spend countless days of our youth out there moving, pruning, mulching and whining.) :) I also soaked up lots of suburban goodness: Shopping at a mega-Target, eating fluffy chain-restaurant pizza, visiting my super-mom friend and watching the Hunger Games in an empty stadium-seating theaters. My mom's review of the film? "Hungry movie so exciting!"
