yes, i have mentioned a few times before that spring has arrived, and i have teased you with photos here and there, hinting at the lush fabulousness of it all, especially considering that winter lasted about eight years this time around …

but here is conclusive photographic evidence of how amazingly gorgeous springtime is. all of these pictures are of plants and flowers in OUR yard!

here is our azalea (in full bloom), our bayberry, and our golden bayberry.

here is our bleeding heart (getting ready to open), one of our many daffodils, and the forsythia that drives daddy crazy (but that mommy loves).

the hostas are returning, and the japanese maple and lilies are waking up …

our maple trees in the front and back yards are budding like crazy, and soil is ready for planting.

and these are mommy’s favorite blossoms: from our pear tree, our purple-leaf sandcherry, and our tulips!

of course, good weather means a lot of knuckleheads are on the road, speeding. miss megan and mommy worked together to make a caution sign, telling people to watch out on our street. yesterday morning daddy, mommy, and i hung up the sign in miss megan’s tree so drivers will see it as they turn onto our street.

hopefully, our sign will make a difference.
