 * Story by Lindsay**:

On March 14, 2011, in Raleigh, North Carolina, spring is arriving. Even though it is a grey day and very overcast, many flower buds are blooming and many animals are coming out. Also in North Carolina, everyone is excited about watching the NCAA basketball tournament soon and crossing their fingers for their favorite teams.Everyone is also mourning the loss of an hour of sleep because there was a time change last night.

Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina, and is known as the "City of Oaks". Right now, we are experiencing a drought and learning a lot about water conservation. Overall, I think everyone is hoping for some warm and sunny days ahead, and a victorious basketball team!
