Beautiful Hummer!! I have a row of azaleas along my front walkway and I am seeing some buds popping out. I'm known as 'the azalea lady' in our neighborhood. I love spring and will post pictures when all mine are blooming.

We just had a day of freezing rain/snow. Everything is covered with a thin layer of ice. You have to break the ice off your car before you can get inside. It's beautiful,of course, but the last time this happened we lost a few huge limbs on an old elm tree. Some people had major structural damage to their houses because of the falling limbs and the weight of the ice.

So the pictures are of the kinder,gentler side of Mother Nature. Thanks (really) for the reminder, Hummer. I can't wait to see it again. Great pictures

Ah, yes, signs of Spring. My hydrangea is showing signs of life -- leaves are starting to show up.

Thanks for sharing those beautiful blooms of your quinces and daffodils.

love those daffodils. My crocus and tulips are emerging right now. Probably too early, but we've had weird weather around here.

Thanks for the spring inspiration. My Daffys haven't even poked their heads out of
the ground yet and won't for another month.

Master Yoda - I could use some of your weather right about now.

Thanks for the bit of spring! We're in a rental house, and I planted a few bulbs when we moved in in November. I just beat the snow. I can't wait to see their little leaves starting to emerge. Right now, we have LOTS of snow, ice, and ick. It can be pretty sometimes, but I'm ready for a new show!!!
