Signs of Spring

Spring has sprung and is evident everywhere you look. Here is what it looks like in our yard.

From a distance the trees look a misty green ...


... because of all the new leaves.


Lawns are lush green carpets dotted with dandelions.

(I know many people hate dandelions, my husband included, but I think they look so pretty from a distance when they blanket the ground.)

Bright and cheery tulips sing of new life and even warmer days ahead.







(Days 125-127 of 365)

No, I did not cheat and take all these pictures on the same day. It's just harder to get them on the computer daily as of late.

  2. Beautiful! I'm not keeping up with my photos lately..ughhh.

    Do you fertilize your tulips? I am having the worst luck with my bulbs this year. I have a huge bed of irises and not one produced a bud. :(

  3. No, Dinah, I've never fertilized my tulips. They just come up on their own. The ones in these pictures are tulips that were already here when we moved in 4 yrs ago. I planted some around our flagpole and lamppost, but those aren't blooming yet although some of them have buds. They're just a kind that blooms later. I'm sure you'll see pics of them soon, too! ;)
