I hope your first day of spring was a lovely as ours here in Raleigh. Cindy and I did a nice hike of about three miles at Umstead Park. I have been looking for a tree, a specific tree in a specific location for a potential photo in the snow. It does snow here on occasion. I wanted one of these trees that keep the leaves after all the others have fallen, they are pale white to a soft gold color. It would be nice to know the name of the tree. Anyway, they are often obscured by the larger trees around them or clustered with many others making a chaotic view or in an area that gets little sun. So my “imagined” photo is one of these trees, alone in the dark forest with new snow and a shaft of light. Plus one I can access. This one fits the bill, so….

Other news, we received the check from AMICA today and are greatly relieved. No new updates on the progress or lack of for Oliver but we are moving forward on some fronts.
