I am so happy Spring is finally here, I am tired of the cold weather! It would be so much fun to go to the Macy's Flower Show to celebrate Spring - it would have been cool to go and see Martha Stewart kick off the show! Have you heard that she is going to be doing a floral line with 1-800-Flowers.com?! Can't wait for that!

Interesting... I hadn't heard about the floral line!
I love the Macy's floral show--- I have friends coming in this weekend from Boston and I bet they'll love stopping in there.
