Spring ☀️

[dry2010]

It's coming heard the birds outside my bedroom window this morning😄 I live in the suburbs of Chiicago and after this winter I take any sign and run with it lol.

Yes.. looking forward to Spring.
The Day Lillys are peaking up through the soil.
The Rhododendron should be spectacular this year. I have been trimming it back for 3 years now.

We had a lot of tree damage in the area.
Saw a professional tree service and asked him to come over and give an estimate on removing a tree in the front.
He explained it was an Ash..and they are dying off .. he seemed sad that I wanted to have it removed as they are dying and this one so far is still healthy.
I was impressed that he did not go for the job..instead was concerned about the Ash.
So it stays.

I took two of his cards, one for me and a neighbor. I will definitely use his service if needed.

Here on Vancouver Island ..

Horses are shedding their winter coats (no more chapstick while grooming!) and the alpacas no longer want hay--they're loving the spring nibblies. The Christmas Cheer rhodo is in full bloom--a rather shocking sugar pink, but I'll take what I can get this time of year. The crocuses are finishing and the daffodils all a-bloom.

Yeah!

Green with envy. We still have a foot of $n@w!

We have been having lovely weather here since the first day of spring....then bam!  Today, drops to 40 and starts spitting snow!  WHAT???

[litliwlowa]

the sun came out for about 15 minutes late afternoon. I think spring is TRYING really hard to hang around this week. Snow and rain playing dodge a drop or flake earlier today but nothing significant.

Vancouver Island - already crocuses come and gone? I am soooo jealous.

[slccom]

Really? Where? Will it actually stay for more than a day or two?

My yellow crocus are up! Daffodils, tulips. something else. The iris I moved are greening up and growing. Soon I'll be able to plant my blackberries and raspberries and hydrangea. The apricot tree has blossoms and it looks like they will actually not get frozen off this year, for once!

So far, so good. But the snow shovel is still on the porch!

Walked to the edge of the backyard and the wild 'snow drops' are in bloom...there were so many Cardinals in the backyard as well yesterday, three deers were foraging.

[litliwlowa]

The cardinals started showing up here a couple of weeks ago when we had a mini-spring teaser, then they were gone until the next mini-spring teaser. Birds went into hiding recent days again.

It's supposed to be warming up again

The full of buds Rhododendron are less full now.
Deer (longed legged rascals) have been feasting on them and the azaleas.


Better than my neighbor.. hers do not even have leaves left.. 
Hers are in the backyard.

The fruit trees are blooming, and spring is definitely here in NC, near the coast.

It's just 'up and down' and rainy and cold some days, but it's supposed to be 74 and partly cloudy on Tuesday.

It is just so variable.

As long as there's no snow, I'm happy.

Hugs, Elaine

Actually, I'm pretty much OK with the weather most of the time.  I mean what will I do when I don't like it?  change it?

HA!

Spring is almost here in New Jersey. We did have more snow Tuesday this week, but then the farmers down the road were out planting their crops yesterday

[Velcro]

Going to be in the 70's here this week!  And my pair of "Love Birds" returned over the weekend.  Definitely means spring is here for us!

[gemini052377]

Came home from work this morning to find my japonica bloomed. They look like bunches of Lily of the Valley flowers except on shrubs

You can tell Spring is coming to Arkansas.  Storms and possible tornadoes are the forecast for today.  A little hail mixed in. 

I guess I have to be thankful there is no more snow and ice here.

        Happy Spring!!!
