A few new faces and some old friends enjoyed the warm weather in North Park last weekend. The blossoms were not ready yet, but the tea and sweets were special and the conversation also warm. Some volunteers helped with tree maintenance too. Weather that was very cold, and now quite warm, has made prediction of peak bloom date difficult this year.
