Things of Spring

Spring weather has finally arrived in our neck of the woods. We have been in the new house for less than a year, so it is fun to see what blooms.

These trees line our driveway. The house in the photo is actually our neighbor's, but the trees are ours. They have started to green out now, but when they were full of little pinkish white blooms they made me smile every time I saw them. Last Wednesday night when we came home from church I stopped at the top of the driveway and made the entire family enjoy the trees. They probably weren't as thrilled as I was.

Just as I started to feel sad that the pretty little flowers were falling off and making way for green leaves, a tree in my front yard bloomed...a Dogwood. It is so pretty. It isn't as full as my neighbor's Dogwood, but it is still pretty.

There is a Tulip Poplar in the backyard that is just about to bloom. I can't wait for it to fill in.

Now if I can just get the grass in the front to grow!
