This evening I took a short walk around the yard, I'm trying to be diligent about taking the camera with me each time I head out the door. I really want to chronicle the start of all the blooming around here this year. Our winter was so light and Spring has sprung into full motion early, I can't believe everything that's already taking off. I don't recall the creeping phlox blooming this early before, then again I wasn't wanting to have a record of it either. Has your's starting blooming? Do you recall when you saw your first blooms last year?
The clouds had already started moving in, gray and over cast skies the Flowering Crap AppleTree wasn't showing off it's true beauty.
Then, low and behold the sun popped out and I ran back outside to snap a few more shots. The tree is loaded with blooms. Year before last I used cuttings from the tree to decorate the outside for the Holiday Open House. If you missed that post you can revisit it HERE. Keeping fingers crossed I'll be able to use some for this year's open house.
Peeking through the branches towards the end of the house where you enter into the gift shop.
And on a happier note, the energizer bunny is back to her old self once again. The voice has returned, the nagging cough is still there and maybe a touch of a headache, but from where I was a few days ago, my friends I can handle this. Yippee Skippy!!

Oh everything is looking so pretty. I love to see the first blooms of spring. Hugs, Marty
Glad you are feeling better. Spring is so pretty but hard on my and my allergies! hugs, Linda
Our blooms are almost a month behind in some cases, compared to last year. I think as a result of the big freeze we suffered here in Europe.
Those are beautiful blooms, I love the pink phlox. Glad you are feeling better. I had the same thing about two weeks ago.
What a lovely series of spring filled pictures. The budding trees are beautiful and the flowers are, too. You are way ahead of us here in our part of Virginia though we do have some trees in bloom. I am waiting anxiously for our crabapples to start popping forth. This is one lovely post. Happy Spring. genie
