CHARLOTTE EVENTS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
March 23, 2011 - March 30, 2011
“Starred forget-me-nots smile sweetly, Ring, bluebells, ring! Winning eye and heart completely, Sing, robin, sing! All among the reeds and rushes,
Where the brook its music hushes, Bright the caloposon blushes,__ Laugh, O murmuring Spring!”
~ Sarah Foster Davis ~
