Forsythia Are Blooming

Finally the forsythia are starting to bloom. Ours is a little behind some in the neighborhood, but still has bright yellow flowers on them. Thanks heavens for those and for the weeping willows. The grass is also greening but not entirely yet. Things are slowing becoming awake.

Snow

We had a snowfall this morning with a little accumulation. We hoped to take pictures of the daffodils in the snow, but it was melted by the afternoon. Spring time is about all kinds of weather.

Daffodils

The daffodils on the north side of the front yard are in bloom. The south side are growing and have buds on them. Those are the ones that we moved from the south planter. It's so great to finally see something in bloom.

Discoveries In the Yard

We discovered that the rabbits have eaten the tops of the brand new burning bush. They are down to nubs. Hopefully the roots are good and they will grow back. However, because of this set back, we will have to exchange them with the larger ones so that they don't look so bad.

Wayne is out tonight picking up lights and putting them together, uncovering the rose bushes and untying the arborvitae on the north side of the deck. It was 80 degrees yesterday although much cooler today. Yesterday was bliss.

April 1st

We still don't have blooms yet on any flowers, but the daffodils are growing big and all of the ones we transplanted from the south are coming up. I look forward to their blooming.

The weather has been cold, but the highs are higher and the lows not as low so each day it is becomes more spring like. The sun is up sooner and I go to the pool in the light and come home in the light. Spring is wonderful.
