Sunny Days!

These past days have gone by so quickly it's hard to believe they're getting longer!

Look at these beautiful red maple buds against the clear, blue sky!

These daylilies are getting close to blooming!

"Bud"dy!

Spring can't be too far off!

The lilac tree buds are springing up, out, and open!

Or is that a little creature with wings?

Singing of spring!

This may not be a "spring peeper," but this little guy has something to say!

Spring peepers make more of a "Peep" sound....check it out here.

Daffy!

Now here's a classic sign of spring:  Daffodils!  In fact, they are popping up all over social media...which must mean that they are popping up all over the real world, too.  At least, here in Maryland!

Dandy!

Dandelions are a sure sign of spring!  

Also, did you know that you can help the bees 

by leaving the dandelions in your yard?

Read more here.  

Beekeepers will love you if you don't kill your dandelions, 

and don't spray weed killer!

And at our house, two more signs of spring are BARE FEET...

and LAUNDRY on the LINE!

Do you know how great line-dried laundry smells? 

Rhodie!

This is one of our rhododendrons, getting ready for spring.  

This one makes big, beautiful white flowers.

Another one makes purple-pinkish flowers.
