P U B L I S H E R ’S NOTE I know I have said it before, but it is just so strange to me how the month of January lasts forever and February goes by in the blink of an eye, for which I am very thankful. A very rainy, dreary and gloomy blink of an eye is the month of February. I took so many virtual beach vacations via my computer last month that I almost convinced myself I was actually there, until I looked down at my pale and pasty skin and was reminded that I have been nowhere with sunshine at all!
Sunday, March 8, we will all spring forward, giving us a little more time in the day for some much needed daylight and hopefully some warmer temperatures and sunshine, as well. There are so many great things to do in the Mid South this time of year. The Memphis Zoo and the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo are great places for animal enthusiasts to visit. For sports fans, March Madness will soon be in full bloom. If hoops aren’t your sport, take in a University of Memphis baseball game or make a short trip down to Oxford, MS, for a little Swayze crazy baseball and a beer shower or two. There is always the yearround sunset view from Shelby Farms to make us all smile. If Mother Nature decides to “get off her meds” and outdoor adventures aren’t a possibility, there are plenty of indoor places to keep us warm and dry while we are entertained.
I hope you enjoy our March issue and are inspired by the beautiful homes we are delighted to share with you. Enjoy the buds sprouting and springing forward. In a short blink, we will be falling backwards all over again!
