Our Mesquite trees started showing leaves - a sure harbinger of Spring here - about 3 weeks ago. Natives of the Upper Sonoran Desert know that there is always a chance of snow until the Mesquite start putting on the green.
Love your hummingbird, LUV. I have a Facebook friend who’s been posting pictures of the little jewels as they feed in his back yard.
I haven’t seen any leaves on our mesquites yet, unless they are just tiny now. They are what we use to gauge when cold weather is gone for good, too.
We get a few hummingbirds but somewhat later than now. It has been cooler than usual this spring.
