Spring was here, and I am fairly certain spring will return. My deepest fear is that it will shift this year from Winter right into summer. We hit 86 degrees on Friday and 84 on Saturday. It wasn’t the hot sticky summer kind of warm. It was not bad, plus there was a nice wind. This morning (Sunday) we had already dropped to 55 degrees outside. Time to turn the heat off for a few days and let fresh air into the house.
This is not the tree I shared the picture of; it is on the other side of our walk. This one is just outside the entrance to our neighborhood but is quite beautiful this year. The white flowers, when they have done their job, fall like snowflakes. Like snowfall covering everything like a fresh layer of snow including my car! Fun to watch as they flutter to the ground because no matter what they won’t get deep enough to need to be raked or snow shoveled/blown!
Anyone can join the photo challenge – keep posting pictures!!!
Thanks, I love when the flowers begin to come off the tree and it feels like snow!
Is the festive beauty of the tree not enough as a proof of the return of spring?
Is spring a season or a feeling? as a season yes the tree blossoming and opening to the world is a sign, as a feeling it is still not warm enough for me!
Deep questions. If we only see the time and the signs, then the spring is already carried on, but when it comes to feelings, then only the owner of the feeling can answer that question.
true. it is owning our feelings that we are able to choose that path!
I always hope that peace and happiness always sprout up in you, in your spring…
Great spring tree. I feel how spring has already come to you.
It feels like Spring has finally arrived!
Sounds like our weather, beautiful tree.
Thanks, Carol! Glad to hear you weather is coming along!
Well it was but this morning… 32*
Yesterday we went down to the city and I was amazed. It really is spring down there.
