Today is the first day of spring. However, when I took a walk after lunch it didn't look or feel like it. I wore my heavy winter coat and a pair of gloves (and should have added something to cover my ears).
Not too far from my house I saw these winter-looking trees:

ReplyDeleteStay warm!
DeleteEverything here has bloomed. Unfortunately, the wind, rain, and colder temperatures are not good for all that new growth. We have a pineapple express hitting us tonight.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I hope everything and everyone in your area is safe.
DeleteThere is hope! Seriously it's been so cold, albeit very sunny.
ReplyDeleteSo YOU'VE got our sun! Please send it back :-)
DeleteI so love Spring and it's just wonderful to see buds.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I think Spring is my favorite season.
DeleteIt really lifts the spirits when you spot those burgeoning buds, doesn't it? There's hope.
ReplyDeleteYes, before you know it the weather will be changing big time.
DeleteWe've had all kinds of blooming going on. The poor birds are confused. The weather keeps going back and forth. We are having winter now.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm getting to your comment three days later. Has it turned back into spring yet?
