I understand and feel the pain of all of you who are digging out from the snowfall.
I looked out my kitchen door this morning to check the weather and this is what I saw while I was standing on my deck.
Instead of gray skies and snowfall I saw sunny blue skies and a pink puff of redbud blooms.
I am pretty sure spring has sprung here, but I also know Mother Nature can be sort of fickle, so I am not planting anything __yet!

Funny, I was going to post redbud tomorrow. We have to be careful. Tonight and tomorrow night will be below freezing. At least it is not snowing feet of snow.
ReplyDeleteI understand it is supposed to be around freezing but not a hard frost. Hopefully things will be ok.
DeleteSpring is an exciting time of year isn't it? But fickle. So very fickle.
ReplyDeleteOn this side of the world I am starting to plan our spring garden display. Hundreds of bulbs have arrived, and hours of weeding are called for. Then hours of planting.
I am getting ready for spring planting. I do not do much bulb planting in the fall. I have squirrels all over the yard and they dig up and eat the bulbs about as fast as I can plant them.
ReplyDeleteThis has been a good year for the azaleas. So pretty. I'm enjoying them after this cold winter. I feel bad about the snow up north, but oh well. I made a huge change in my life moving down here for the warm weather. It hasn't always been rosy, but at least I don't have to shovel snow anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe dogwoods and azaleas are just starting to bud here. In about 3 days it should be a showcase!
DeleteWe lived in a town that had an annual Dogwood Azalea Festival. My son won the little prince or king of the festival when he was three and we had lived there about three weeks.
DeleteYay, for spring! Your tree is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI do like this tree in the spring and in the summer it provides nice shade, but it sucks in the fall when the seed pods start to fall.
DeleteOk lady.....I'll remember this in July when we are having deelightful weather and you are roasting and soggy with humidity. lolz
ReplyDeleteOh I understand it is a tit for a tat! July and August will be painful here. But right now it is gorgeous snd I don't have to shovel anything except garden dirt!
DeleteThose are my favorite trees - always a sign spring is on it's way :)
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty yesterday, but today is windy and I have little pink blossoms all over the back yard. Today the leaves are peaking out from the limbs
DeleteI am one of the lucky ones too, although not nearly as warm we have no snow for which I am grateful. And the daffodils and tulips are starting to bloom, sometimes they bloom earlier but it has been colder here this Spring. Such a beautiful tree!
ReplyDeleteI almost feel bad that it is so beautiful here while others are having such a hard time. Notice I said almost!
DeleteIt is supposed to be warm here next week and I am so excited. Your tree will be dazzling.
ReplyDeleteThe winds hit today and the tree is nearly done, but it has been gorgeous. Next up__azaleas!
DeleteSpring will be here soon enough. I appreciate your pictures that remind me of things to come.
ReplyDeleteIt is fast approaching you. In a few days we will be in the very biggest part of spring here..
DeleteI've never herd of redbud before but then, I am on the other side of the world! It's very pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt's finally feeling less like a sauna here, for which I am very very thankful
They might have a different name there or might not grow at all.They are all over the place here and if you have one you will soon have a dozen or so saplings.
ReplyDeleteIt has sprung here in NC as well. The Bradford pears are smelling horrible as usual! LOL
ReplyDeleteThey do have a smell that does not coincide with how pretty they are.
DeleteOh so pretty! I still have some little piles of snow in my patio area and front gardens... :(
