It's the most wonderful time of the year! I know that song makes you think of Christmas, but I think Spring is the most wonderful time of the year. Seeing the green pop out, blue skies, warm breezes, sunshine and flowers is just so wonderful and makes me happy. (Not to mention, clear roads to drive on...) :)
Spring has been slow to arrive this year. It's been unusually cold and rainy, but this coming week is supposed to be very nice and it's really looking like Spring here.
Here's some pics so you can see what it looks like in my little corner.
We have lots of shade in our yard, and hosta plants love shade, so there are lots of them around. It's fun to see them pop up, almost looking like a tube, and then see the leaves open up.
One of my favorite things is seeing the trees around me get that tint of green, and within a week it seems all the leaves are open. We're at that point now, and things will look very different in a week.
"For lo, the winter is past. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing of birds has come and the sound of the turtledove is heard in our land."
Song of Solomon 2: 12-12
Spring is springing up all over there! I have never heard of Grecian wind flowers, but they sure are cute! And a beautiful color. We have Weeping Cherry here, but I have never heard of a Weeping Crab! It must be beautiful. I want you to post it after it blooms.
ReplyDeleteI love the signs of springs. My plumeria trees are growing leaves and buds. Things are greener. I love where you live! I enjoyed your grands pictures too!
ReplyDeleteIn my neck of the woods, we have blue skies and greenery all year long. And yet I get carried away by spring descriptions and photos such as yours in the above post.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loving all the blooms! My favorite season is Spring...
ReplyDeleteHope you have a super day sweet lady!

A perfect setting all-around you. From fields of green to colorful blossoms. And clear roads!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the flowers. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Mari. Spring has already sprung here in Central Florida and headed straight to summer, grin. I hope you have a beautiful day my friend.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see all these signs of Spring. I thought we would never get here! I just hope we have a decent Spring and not go right into hot and humid summer! Although I vow to never complain about the heat!
ReplyDeleteSpring is such a special time of year, thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteAh, bliss! 🌸
ReplyDeleteI want to take that little bunny home with me:) My tulips have just bloomed as of today and it's sure looking like spring has sprung:) Thanks for sharing so many wonderful pictures of nature where you live.
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a beautiful area. No wonder Spring is a much anticipated event there. The overcast skies with snow and ice would get a bit wearying.
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful photos. It's nice to see the wildlife up moving around again.
Blessings. xx
I agree, I love spring too. Your spring pictures are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love spring and summer. Everything is blooming around my house too and beautiful. Love hearing the birds sing.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see spring, springing up in your neck of the woods. Such pretty flowers and I too enjoy that spring green the trees get early on.
ReplyDeleteYour property is nice and you have a nice drive to work. I don't see any bunnies in our area - only the jackrabbits. The cottontails are usually at a higher elevation. Great photos.
I know I say it every year, but it is mind boggling to me, how far apart in time our springs are -- yours and mine, that is. Our daffodils are a distant memory! Dogwoods and weeping cherry long ago turned to full leaf. That pale green beginning for us is in March! But now we look like full summer while your spring is just gearing up. Your flowers are SO lovely. The Grecian windflowers especially! Happy happy happy. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love your yard, Mari. These are all wonderful photos. Spring is truly a wonderful time of year!
ReplyDeleteWow! What awesome spring photos. I love the beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteEverything is blooming here, too, and it looks wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteYour "corner" is always so beautiful!! I enjoy seeing your seasons change and Spring is definitely the most beautiful! Thanks for sharing! xo
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos! You have a lovely yard.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves definitely popped here while we were away. We had lovely warm weather this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I knew that hosta like shade. No wonder mine look brown so soon - they probably get too much sun.
Beautiful pictures, Mari.
ReplyDeleteIt's been unseasonable cold and rainy here as well, but on the plus side, everything is looking very lush and green.
Yay for spring! I love walking around the yard and seeing everything popping up. And we love watching for little baby ducks and goslings.
