"MacAttack 5"... the round-up

FLOWERS FLOWERS EVERYWHERE...

Spring is in the air and there are flowers everywhere..... well, it never hurts to try! The days go from cold to colder and back again, a little snow here, a little rain there, but at the merest hint of a warm breeze, at even the slightest shimmer of a ray of sunshine, we jump up, throw off our sweater and run to the window to look. Is it here? Spring? Endless days of pleasure strolling barefoot through green grass, breathing in the heady scent of a myriad of flowers as we gaze lovingly at the splashes here and there of color pushing gently up through the damp, dark earth. Tiny buds shyly reaching towards the sky to, days later, burst into joyous, vibrant bloom! And our landscape will be awash in color.

But for the moment, most of us can only pray. And wait. Impatiently. But we Mac Passionates have brought the springtime into our homes and into our hearts with this month's Mac Attack: Spring Flowers. We let our imaginations run wild by letting the colors, scents and flavors of spring flowers invade our kitchen. Our macarons, this month, are a glorious bouquet of fresh springtime flowers tumbling across our tabletops like so many tiny buds in pastel greens and bright yellows, deep violets and garish pinks and more. So come and peruse, like in the choicest of flower shops, and pick yourself the perfect bouquet of Mac Flowers.


And we at Mactweets wish each and everyone of you a Happy Macaron Day, for today is Le Jour du Macaron!
