It is uncharacteristically beeee-autiful around here right now! Spring has sprung and weeks ahead of schedule. It's weird to be basking in this spring-type weather when so many other parts of the country have been getting dumped on with snow! But hey, I'm not complaining, for the past couple of years that's been us! Well, I guess we didn't really get dumped on this time of year but it was still COLD and we definitely did have some of the white stuff.
But not this year! It's super warm and everything seems to be coming alive right now. Flowering trees are bursting with color, birds are singing in the trees, horses are shedding...it's craziness! But again, I'm NOT complaining! I'll take it while we've got it! Seems like we get a spring like this about every five years or so. I can remember that both '99 and '05 were like this...so I guess we're right on schedule!
Along with all this nice weather, we've had some absolutely gorgeous sunsets lately. I probably should have saved these pics for "Skywatch Friday" but we all know I've been a little lax in my posting lately, so I figured I better get 'em up now before it's June ;)
Our Forsythia shrubs are blooming, which is one of my favorite flowering shrubs to take cuttings from. These lasted about a week and a half in the vase with very little attention, other than changing out the water. Love having flowers in the house.Happy almost March everyone! Just a few more weeks to go 'till it's official! WOO-HOO!!!

I am so looking forward to spring! Being in Arizona really helped me. Even though I was working really hard, it was so nice to be running around in tank tops in 80 degree weather!
ReplyDeleteYour picture's are gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteLove the photos!
ReplyDeleteEvery year I say I'm going to get a forsythia bush but never do.
I keep asking...
I think we've both been on the blogging wagon lately. I love the pictures! The middle three should be made into prints and hung on your wall! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow! Fabulous pics! I've really been diggin' the wonderful weather we've been having lately and am just floored when I see nature waking up from winter. It's hard to remember it's still just barely March!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up...'99 and '05...how do you remember these things?!?!
Lucky you!! Gosh, I wish I had as good a memory as you, I can't remember how many snowstorms we had this year let alone years before! Love your pics and I am jealous of your forsythia. I remember my mom bringing in branches from one when I was little, I need to plant some this year!
