Springtime in Memphis.

Art by Audrey Hernandez. Stamps from Oxford Impressions, "Le Jardin" Collection.

Spring has officially arrived in Memphis.  The dogwoods are in bloom, lining our southern streets with lacy white blossoms. Azaleas burst forth with a glory of pinks from pale to cherry. Non-blooming trees have put out tender green leaves and all is fresh and lush.  If you visit Memphis this time of year, you'll yearn to live here. Visions of sipping iced tea while admiring the garden from the shade of the veranda beckon the innocent visitor. Before ordering the moving van packed, wait a few months and visit again during the roasting, humid summer.  One hasn't truly experienced Memphis until one has scorched the back of one's legs on a leather car seat and had to wrap a spare t-shirt around the steering wheel to protect one's hands! Right now, though, Memphis is a jewel. Enjoy, fellow Memphians! It won't be this way for long!
