Last year spring was very early -- second week of March early -- and by this time in April, pots were planted, tulips were blooming, and the leaves on the trees were beginning to provide shade.
All photos were taken on April 13, 2012.
This year, spring is very late. It has just started making its appearance this past week with lots of rain and thundershowers. The grass is finally beginning to green up, the bulbs are now doing more than just poking their heads above the ground, and the trees, well, there are signs of life, but no leaves yet.
Is spring slow in coming this year where you are too?
Oh yes, winter is still very much here. In fact, I'm staring out at a snow storm right now--yuck. We got about a foot on Monday, melted off yesterday, and here we are under another winter storm watch! Come.on.Spring!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the sunset-tree photo--just absolutely gorgeous!!
Lovely, lovely flowers, but did the deer get your tulips? They eat all the flowers they can, here :o(
ReplyDeleteWe had frost yesterday morning, and barely over freezing today, so I'm still waiting for spring, too.

Way down south here in Texas, spring is almost over. In fact, this week has felt more like summer with temps in the 90's. I'm so thankful for the changing of seasons and all the variety they bring!
ReplyDeleteYes, spring is slow here too... but today, the garden seeds I are ordered arrived!! yay!!
