Fast Change

What a difference a week makes. On April 4, we received a few inches of snow.

Snow clung to branches and covered the ground.

 But less than a week later, spring had vanquished winter. The white on the branches wasn't snow but cherry blossoms.

Or wild plum blossoms.

The japonica bloomed . . . 

. . . and the forsythias were at their peak.

The redbuds budded out in the yard . . .

. . . and beside the garage—where a mockingbird sang on the dusk to dawn light.

 The corkscrew willow suddenly was green.

And the lawn and fields were green, too.

Tulips bloomed . . .

. . . and cats wandered among the daffodils . . .

. . .  or lounged on the greenness  of the lawn.

Honeybees covered the rosemary bush.

Temps hit the mid-80s.

Looks like spring is here!
