Frolic with Me Through my Yard!

I Love that little flash of Spring when all those anxious, beautiful plants push through the soil and pop up their little buds, eager as any of us to feel the warmth of the suns rays after a long bout of grey skies and frigid winter air. Crocuses, Lilies of the Valley, Daffodils, and Weeping Cherries all racing to open first, jealously racing to capture the first "Oh's" and "Ah's" of the season.

So frolic around the yard with me and "Oh" and "Ah" the little fellas their due...

Weeping Cherry Tree. I love this tree more than any other on my property. And that's a tough call, since I'll have blazing red Japanese Maples in a few months.

I want to curl up in the outstretched crook in the trunk and wrap my fingers in the long chains of pale pink and white blossoms cascading down around me. I'm definitely putting a wooden swing seat in the branches.

I have hundreds of daffodils, impossible to capture in the most panoramic lens. They're spread around my property like a plague. The squirrels are against me...

They are all nestled in beds of Periwinkle.

Peach colored Hyacinths ready to bloom.

Spinach. Tender delicious spinach. Plain and ordinary, but so beautiful to me.

I don't even remember the names of these little fellas, but they are all over my flower beds.

And these little yellow "weeds". Eye of the beholder...

Hydrangea buds peeking out.

And what would Spring be without the bevy of weeds?

What's in your yard right now?
