Spring Pics, Please!

So, lots of times, y'all wish you were here in FL...but during parts of the year, I wish I could see what YOU are seeing! Spring is one of those times. Please, share your pretty pics of spring...grass popping up, trees in bloom, crocuses and daffodils and tulips emerging. OH - and DOUBLE points for big bushes of forsythia!

The forsythia in PA is just starting to get buds on it. I'll try to take a picture for you once my neighbors shrub is in full bloom!

Happy to oblige! The Pear Trees in our neighbors backyard (their yard backs up to our fence) started blooming early this week. While the white flowers actually smell like rotten fish they sure are pretty to look at!

It was 80 in Charlotte today - woo! Here's what we got:

We have spinach coming up and some gladiola thingies that we planted. The big tree is getting it's color back, and one of those purple flower thingies started poking through.

It was so hot here yesterday in southwestern Ontario I had to go inside to cool off yesterday. I think it may be one of those years where we skip the spring weather and jump right into summer.

These pics are great! It looks like the Carolinas are really taking off. I'm sorry for the snow and extreme temps, but I can't wait to see that forsythia pic!

We've got lots of gray and rain today... not very pretty or exciting, but typical spring!

Lizzy you are cracking me up being so excited over that forsythia bush. They are so very common up here and seem to grow wild. I however get so very excited when I see palm trees which I am sure is a every day thing for you.

I'll try to snap some more pictures for you as the row of them up the street fills in more.

I still ADORE looking around and seeing palm trees - even the three kinds in my yard! Hmmm...maybe I need to snap some pics Smile But yes, it's kinda the same feeling. We painted pics of forsythia in kindergarten, and I've absolutely loved it ever since.

Ooooooh! Yes! Thanks ever so much!

And thank you all for participating! I actually have some pretty things popping out in my yard, too. We're heading to the beach later for the weekend, but I'll either snap some pics today or early next week for you.

I like Spring. I always forget how much I like Spring when it comes around. I think I brush it off and think it's just that thing between Christmas and Summer Break that makes me and my little kiddos stir crazy. Then it comes and I'm like..oh amazing..Spring you're awesome.

Then I've got all this flipping yard work to do and I remember why I hate Spring.

I got these Friday while hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We're having summer weather here and I love it! (except for yesterday when it was storming and hailing all day!)

Ah, thanks guys for sharing your spring pics! I got so busy that I didn't snap any when our colors were the most vibrant, but we've gotten a little rain (finally and thank goodness) so I'm hoping to get some more blooms soon. I just love all the pretty pics you sent!

I'll try and remember to start a "seasons where you are" post every quarter or so. I just love seeing what your hometowns look like!

04/22/12, Spring in NH. I took this picture of the crab apple tree at the end of my driveway. It was raining and 48 degrees.
