Nandina

I used to be young and naive, believing all plants were beautiful. They all had a purpose. But that was three years ago. Back before we bought our house. Before I met the scourge that is Nandina.

Billfold

I climbed out of the car the other day to pump gas and asked Belle to hand me my billfold. She had no idea what I was talking about.

Indian Summer

Indian summer arrived here in North Carolina a couple of days ago. This unseasonable warm snap has temps climbing up into the 80s in Cumberland County.

Hey there! I’m Cassie Clark, a Carolina girl who grew up in two towns on opposite sides of North Carolina. My family has lived here for 8 generations, so my love for my home state is something I got honest. I’m passionate about sharing all the things that make North Carolina living so sweet – the history, the great outdoors, the culture, and the laidback lifestyle. That’s what Where the Dogwood Blooms is all about. It’s my love song to life in the Old North State; an ode to sunshine & hurricanes.
