Spring has Sprung pic

[Ann]

Spring has arrived at my house. Our azaleas are blooming, the white ones are just budding out and the red/pinks are just finishing. The white ones really put on a show.

Show us your Spring pics

Ann, what a BEAUTIFUL yard you have! The flowers are really lovely and I envy that you live in a place warm enough to have them already!

[Ann]

Ha, yeah our Spring is nice, unfortunately it only lasts a short time,
then the swamp season arrives til October!

Oh Ann, what a lovely pic. We can''t wait for spring to arrive here. We still have some snow on the ground, but it''s melting pretty darn quick, thank goodness.

So beautiful, Ann! I was in Northern CA for the weekend and it was so fun to see all of the trees/flowers in bloom! Our yard (new house) leaves much to be desired in the landscaping department, but if we had a chance to plant it would probably be pretty right about now too. The best we''ve got are some wildflowers growing on a slope! Thanks for sharing!

That is a very pretty picture Ann. You have a lovely yard.

Lovely garden and gorgeous house! I love the brick.

Thanks guys. I''m hoping I''ll remember these nice warm days when it
is 98 degrees and 98% humidity in July, August and September.

That is really beautiful, Ann! Y''all must be a couple of weeks ahead of us, because our azaleas aren''t ready yet.

 

[FireGoddess]

Beautiful azaleas! I''ve got a little azalea plant in a pot on my desk at work. Really brightens the place up.

 

[risingsun]

Your pics are beautiful. Our yard has nothing! The snow just melted about a week ago

Ann, your home looks beautiful--thanks for sharing the pics, they remind me that winter here in Chicago will soon be over!

I was outside poking around our yard today and we definitely have new grass growing, and all of the perennials I planted last year are shooting up all nice and green, and we have teeny little buds on the trees and flowering shrubs as well. This winter seemed really long, I''m glad to see it won''t be much longer until I can look outside and see green everywhere instead of naked gray trees and yucky dead grass!

Ann, what a lovely shot...what region of the country do you live in?

I live in Houston. Our weather now is nice, even with very high tree pollen counts!
If you don''t have allergies when you move here, you will shortly!. I am a native
Houstonian, so it''s something I''ve learned to live with. Our summers are awful. High
humidity and high temp''s. But right now, it''s so nice. Everything is so green and fresh.

My Chinese Fringe trees are now blooming, I love looking at it from my kitchen window.

DF - I have a very dear friend who lives in Berwyn, on the Main Line. Are you near there?

 

[diamondfan]

Ann, yes I am. I live about 30 minutes from Devon, Berwyn and St. Davids, give or take some traffic! It is lovely there, really a pretty spot. Spring here, with the blossoms, is amazing...
