Something for all you frozen Northern Freepers to look forward to!
Hang in there, Spring is coming!
pinglist
that last one is very pretty...:)
Where!? Beautiful photos, BTW.
I remember seeing the top photo tree with purple/red blossims when I went to college in Gianesville, FL.
Beautiful pictures! I can’t believe you’ve already got petunias. Am I right in thinking the third pic of of a very tiny flower? The resolution is gorgeous.
Orange dent-de-lion.
Dandelion.
I will be lucky to see that beauty like that by the end of April the way the weather has been up here. Fantastic pics though. You are what we used to call a "Lucky Bastard". Where did you find plants coming to life already?
It’s snowed the past few days up here in the north.
Many of the traffic signals had to be switched to flashing red because the new LED lights wouldn’t melt the snow off, leading to traffic accidents.
I’m a bit jealous of the nice warm views.
*SIGH* Have I died and gone to Heaven? Boy ‘Sniper....I needed these wonderful images! Perfect timing! WOW!
The county arboretum is just up the road from home for me, it's almost like having my own garden.
You know your a tad sadistic sending such beautiful flowers that people in Michigan might see. Had a couple more inches of snow 2 days ago. We don't flower until beginning of June. Bad Boy. Iris and Lupine, my favorites and my front yard is full of lupine in the spring. About 5 years ago here near the thumb we had a killing frost June 1st and had to replant all veggies. :O( I am jealous. GG
Gorgeous pics, but right now it’s snowing like heck out side and we’re supposed to get another 18” by morning (northern VT).
I really want to move but DH won’t.
Nine days left? Either North Dakota is in some wacky date zone or the publik skools really suk.
Yep- spring is coming- right on the heels of the 2-4 inches of white we are supposed to get later tomorrow, to be followed by the announced 8-10 to a foot the next day.
Maybe even priceless.
So what happened to the sentence where I said your pictures are priceless???
Gorgeous pics! We saw the grass yesterday for the first time since November. Today we got six inches of heavy wet slop. But I can dream.
Are you talking about the plants lining the walkway? They could be Periwrinkle....
Many thanks! We got 15 inches of “Spring” last week. It’s good to see that there are flora somewhere that aren’t covered in the white stuff.
