Let The Transformation Begin

Yesterday had to have been one of the most perfect days we've had in awhile! It was sunny and warm with the temperature reaching to the upper 70's! I'm dying to proclaim that flip-flop season has arrived! I stepped outside to bask in the sun, I mean, who could resist? Signs of spring were everywhere I looked.

My fringe plant is in full bloom...


Many of our trees are beginning to bud...


And after a few chilly months, my pansies are starting to stand up straight, again...


I don't know about you, but I am so ready for the "official" arrival of spring, not to mention summer!  I can feel it in the air...it won't be long now!  Hope y'all have a nice, sunny weekend wherever you may be!

Me too April! We had temps in the mid-70s yesterday and it was wonderful. Daylight Savings Time starts March 11; I can't wait for the extra hours of light every evening. I just love Spring!

We had light snow on Wednesday, dark dark gray skies since, and lots of fog. I don't think NJ got the message about an early spring : (

Have a great weekend!

I wish! We have a winter storm watch today. 4-7 inches of wet heavy snow. Enjoy your beautiful weather. :o)

We keep getting teased. Warm one day, chilly the next... but one day it was in the high 60's & I totally pulled out flip flops. I'll wear them whenever I can :)

I love spring and fall, summer--not so much, the 110 degree temps are not all that great. But you know, it's a dry heat. Have a good day.

I'm starting to see lots of blooms too, April! I hope we are finished with the frosts and cold weather~ I'm ready for spring!

These are gorgeous pictures. We have some daffodils that are already blooming in our front yard.

Me too!
And speaking of Spring, I'm doing a 20 Questions Til Spring Thing giveaway on my blog(s) and FB. Drawing will be held on none other than the first day of Spring!

It's starting to warm up here too, and that's great because I HATE cold weather!!! Bad part is that it means tons of rain for us. Oh well!

Liz said...

The upright cherry trees are already blooming! I went out this weekend and most of our trees have swollen buds but nothing to see yet. I know the transformation is just around the corner. I love to watch everything come alive!

Shaun Cassidy was one of my favorites too! I had the album on the right in your picture. Now I have "do run run" in my head :)

I love this time of year! I am dying to grow something but I'm trying to just patiently care for my seedlings. Thanks for visiting today!
