about me
I'm Julie. I'm married with one dog and I use this space to talk about the clothes I wear, the food I cook, the things I love, and what inspires me. The latter includes, but is not limited to wine, guacamole, my DVR, and pretty pictures.

Legend of the Dogwood
Perhaps this is why it’s always in bloom around Easter:
At the time of the crucifixion, the dogwood had reached the size of the mighty oak tree. So strong and firm was the wood that it was chosen as the timber for Jesus’ cross.
To be used for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the dogwood. While nailed upon it, Jesus sensed this, and in his compassion said. “Because of your pity for my suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used for a cross. Henceforth, it shall be slender, bent, and twisted, and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross–two long and two short petals.
“In the center of the outer edge of each petal will be the print of nails. In the center of the flower, stained with blood, will be a crown of thorns so that all who see it will remember.”

Daily Lovely – Dogwood Charm by Helen Ficalora
Dogwoods are the North Carolina state flower (even though they are actually a tree).
Dogwoods are also one of the reasons I love spring in NC. It seems like every street you go down this time of year has dogwoods in full bloom.
