After working 9 to 3 on Saturday, Rich picked me up and we went up to the Greensboro Historical Museum to see Dolley Madison's famous red dress.
The museum in housed in a really cool building that was a church and was used as a hospital during the Civil War.
Dolley's dress has just returned from being at the Smithsonian and is on display until June. It was a lovely exhibit. I am so glad that I took the time to see it.
In the back there is a lovely cemetery.
With lots of lovely flowers blooming right now.
I really need to get some flowering Quince for my garden.
Lots of snow drops.
Vinca(Susan, you know what this means!)
Lovely camellias.
After taking in these beautiful flowers we stopped and had some hot dogs and ice cream for dinner. It was a perfect spring afternoon!
I hope my week is as good!
Wishing you all some warm spring weather.

The flowers are beautiful! I love walking through old cemetaries. Where's the pic of the dress, or wouldn't they let you take pics? Sounds like a great day - just my cup of tea!
