Spring ☀️

[gemini052377]

Spring in NJ: kids playing outside, birds chirping, saw our groundhog, lilies are popping up all around. Before we had our children we would have taken a long, motorcycle ride on a day like today 


Spring is here!!!!!

Definitely spring here to stay now. Bees and wasps are out and about.

Yes definitely Spring, came home from work and my petite Rhododendron was bloomed.

I spoke too soon. We're supposed to drop below freezing tonight.

It was 82 here Sunday, now it's sleeting!  Seriously?  Mother Nature needs to get back on her meds!

Either that or Mother Nature is on too many meds!!

Geesh - half way through April and still winter won't go into hibernation and stay in hibernation for a few months.

We still have a foot on the ground, and horrible muck in the exposed areas.    We got about three inches on the weekend. I wish it would melt and dry up already, but because we have so much snow the ground is water logged and must melt slowly so as not to flood out our entire area.

I cannot.wait.to.garden!!!

We've had the days of wonderful 70's, and today it was snowing, but in a few hours melted. We have a freeze warning tonight. Our Daylilies are peeking through.

Some of the ferns we picked up from someone who was thinning theirs out have sprouted..yeah.
By the time we drove a distance to pick them up and then DH had to get out a pick ax, to do 3 beds, total planted was 40.

Daffodils are still standing tall, later ones are now in bloom as well...
Dianthus survived the winter and looks lush.

Dwarf Dogwood young blooms are deep red and will turn pink. Below the dogwood the grape hyacinth, cobalt blue, are in bloom.  Behind the dogwood are forsythia .. the colors, deep pink against the yellow (depending on where you stand) is a wonder.

In the front the big ornamental cherry tree is full... I even love when the blossoms fall and it looks like pink snow.

Even a miniature rhodo bloomed..that is still in the pot from last year. And a choke berry,, that I bought at the end of the year clearance for the leaf color... little pink flower all along the branches... still in the pot.. wow.. what a pleasant surprise.

I feel jealous of those of you who actually have Spring.

We are expecting snow for the next few days and very cold temperatures.  I am still hopeful I will see signs of life in the yard soon!

In the southern hemisphere we're heading in the opposite direction.

Autumn certainly hit Sydney yesterday. We'd been blessed with sunny days, temperatures in the mid 20's Celsius. All changed yesterday, grey skies, windy and very cold (for us) top temp around 13C . Watching my son's soccer game yesterday afternoon was a very chilly experience.

I hope you Northerners all enjoy the warmer weather.

Spring has sprung for the moment here in Indiana~ but my word the winds are so bad.  I have had only a few days that I could work out in the yard that I didn't get blown away.  I have found that a pair of wrap around safety goggles work for the most part.  I am sure I look a site with my heavy coat, gloves and goggles on the first of MAY!!

Spring has sprung here in West Yorkshire - in fact most of the spring flowers are over, but we are having lots of wind and rain. However, the temperature is around the late 50's, so that's nice.
