Spring has sprung!


Spring weather came early this year and so I was thinking the the 'start' of spring would bring no surprises.... I was wrong! The day spring started was actually the coldest day we have had all week... Then the next day all of a sudden there were white blossoms everywhere! It was beautiful! There are so many big trees full of wonderful popcorn! (not that i like the way they smell but it is pretty!) I just love spring, all the flowers blooming and the trees turning green again. Wishes of snow are gone... UNTIL NEXT WINTER! Anyway, that's all, no poems, no spectacular words from me, just that it is turning pretty outside and it is wonderful!

OH and we got some free trees from the Henricopolis Soil and Water Conservation District on Friday and will plant two in our yard this week. One is a White Dogwood (Cornus florida), the other is a Red Bud (Cercis canadensis). I am really excited, the only problem is now finding a good place for them on our small lot! We will see!!
