Well, I thought spring had sprung here in St. Louis . . . As recently as yesterday, the thermometer was hovering around 70 degrees, and the daffodils and magnolias, so weighty with blooms, were straining their branches and stems. But, alas, I awoke to a brisk 30-degree morn with snow on the ground! While I didn't mind donning my winter boots and coat once again, I did take issue with Mother Nature when I saw all of my once-lush magnolias turned limp and brown. Harrumph!
Thankfully, spring has arrived here on Cookie Connection, and your cookie versions of flowers, birds, and other Easter-y things have distracted me from my magnolia debacle. I must say, I'd be content to stay staring at this week's hot list* until the last of winter melts away!
Congrats to all of those honored this week - your work is gorgeous!
