“No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. ”
Light tries to break through the bleak sky. Winter chill is still in the air, and I’m dreaming of spring. I’m ready for the green to return to the grass and the warmth of a sunspot. I look forward to the festival of color, when earth puts away her bulky grey sweaters and says, “I’ll be wearing that bright party dress today”
Thankfully, I don’t have to wait until the sunnier months to get my flower fix. This past weekend several of my dear friends were part of the committee hosting the “Chocolate Fantasy Ball” for the Ronald McDonald House. They let me sneak a glimpse of the wonderment in the making. Behind those plain ballroom doors, a kaleidoscope of colors warmed my soul. Bright, bold, graceful flowers: french tulips, lilies, amaryllis, roses, forsythia, lilacs- sigh. Be still my heart.
Inspired by Nature - Becky Clement and her team – brought fun and elegance together in one spot. I recently met Becky and I have been a fan of her work for years. I’ve seen her transformations of gardens and the Junior League of Little Rock building for other special occasions. I’ve always walked away in awe. The Chocolate Fantasy Ball was no exception. So grab a cup of coffee on this cold day and enjoy a glimpse of spring. 
Cheers, Y’all!
