With temperatures in the upper 70's and into the 80's for two weeks, it feels more like the start of summer instead of the beginning of spring. I'm not quite ready for this heat since I know we'll have plenty of it when summer really arrives. The one benefit is that the spring flowers have bloomed even earlier this year. I took these pictures this morning.
The pansies overwintered without trouble since we had such a mild winter.
Tulips are my favorite flower and I'm so happy that I finally remembered to plant tulip bulbs this past fall. This little pink one is the first to bloom. It's a little rough around the edges but still so pretty.
I had forgotten that I also planted more daffodils until these little guys bloomed. These are a later variety and have bloomed just when my earlier daffodils have stopped blooming.
We had a thunderstorm last night that brought LOTS of rain so these little blooms are still wet.
I can't wait until this one blooms. I can see it from my kitchen window and I've been watching it for days willing it to open soon!
The smelly Bradford pear trees have bloomed and some of them have most of their leaves. It's too bad the smell like rotting animals when they bloom because they're very pretty. Their little white petals float down like snow when the wind blows.
Happy Spring, everyone! (a day late)

Very pretty!! Great job planting bulbs, because those tulips are going to be gorgeous when they bloom! And I love your banner pic with the rain on the daffodil! The pansies are so pretty too!
Don't you love the touches of color the first thing in spring? It's always worth the trouble of fall planting. They are like gifts after all the gloom of winter! Great job Becky! Love you, Momma
