Spring, we see you lurking...

Oh, yes we do.
It's getting warmer, then colder, then warmer again. I can see the battle raging between you and Old Man Winter, but I know you will prevail. How do I know, you ask? Little buds of hope sprinkled here and there! Come on spring, you can do it!!

First dogwoods of Spring, thanks to a little trip to Palestine.

Beautiful tulips and other flowers at the Dallas Arboretum!

It's Here! It's Here! It's Here!

What you may ask? Spring!!

There are signs everywhere. The warmer weather. The flowering trees. Tulips! (love those!) Birds singing. It's here and it's growing steady each day. Oh, shorts weather, how I've missed you so!

You may be skeptical if you've seen the weather forecast for this weekend, but really, IT'S here, and I'll show you!

The pretty blooming Bradford pear trees all around town. I just love the white blossoms, however I would like them even more if they didn't smell so bad.

A sign of new life on Carl the Maple Tree. We're excited to see his progress this year!

Beautiful flowers on the blueberry bush Joe gave me for Valentine's Day. Aren't they neat!

One of our new flower beds and a rose bush, also given to me this Valentine's Day!

And last but not least, the return of the hammock. Oh, how I've missed our sunny afternoons together. Good to see you again, old friend.
