My Favorite Sign Of Spring

Forsythia.

My favorite sign of spring!

What's yours?

Magnolia

Magnolia in spring.

Lilac Time

Damp earth and sweetly scented garden flowers 

infuse every breeze that frolics through my open window. 

Its lilac time of year!

A Welcome Sight

 (Forsythia)

The first flowers of spring.
A welcome sight after our long, snowy winter.

What's blooming in your garden?

Blues In Bloom

Thunder rumbles in the distance.  Rain has started to fall.

And all the blues are in bloom.

Muscari (Grape Hyacinth)

Vinca (periwinkle)

Wild Violets 

Creeping phlox

 Lilacs

And more lilacs.

Pretty In Pink

Pretty, pink, flowering trees,

on a rainy day.

I am so amazed by nature's beauty

at this time of year.

 Eastern Redbud

Purple-leaved Plum

Take a peek out your window, 

and tell me what beautiful things you see.

Ready For Spring!

Spring is just around the corner!

I'm ready!  

Are you?

(Hey, Mr. Weatherman, it's a no-no to send us snow in March!)

Welcome May!

 A basket of May flowers for you!

Forsythia

It's official!  

Spring has arrived! 

The forsythia is in bloom!!

Can't think of many things more beautiful than this.
