"And woke the flowers on its way..."
Yesterday was the most beautiful day of the year thus far. I have spent more than two-thirds of my life in the northeast and I still cannot get used to this Virginia spring! It's unreal to me. There are flowering trees everywhere. Does spring really come this early every year?? In Maine and New York, this scene isn't seen until past May! It's such a breath of fresh air. Literally.

Strom had a late day yesterday with extra training after class, so I played hooky from dinner detail and went to the park for an hour. Sitting under simply gorgeous apple and cheery blossom trees, I kicked my shoes off and dove into a book, soaking in the rays (too many rays, mind you. My shoulders and chest are still pink today!) I felt like I was in Anne of Green Gables land. It was just beautiful.
I of course had to walk around with my camera and capture this southern spring. Here's to you, Mama! I know how much you'd love to be here!

Maybe it's been too long since you lived in NY to remember but we don't have to wait until June for spring flowers! The lilacs are the last spring tree to bloom and they peak mid-may! Supposed to be 75 in NY on Monday!
Miss you!
These pictures are GORGEOUS, Regan! I can't wait until we move away from the desert someday so I can have pretty spring flowers like yours.
bee-A-uutiful pictures, Regan! Still waiting on all this snow to melt up here in the Last Frontier... but... once it goes, it's like a matter of MINUTES before it's gorgeous and the flowers are blooming!
Thank you, ladies!!
Jen, you're right, NY's spring comes a bit earlier than ME. Though nothing is full blast bloom until mid May ;)
Ash - Can you move to VA???? I seriously need a girlfriend lol You'd be perfect! ;) We could enjoy the spring together!
Barbi - I'm praying for a quick melt for you guys!! Bless your hearts for the never ending winters up there. But dang, minutes?? Lucky! Things are as slow as molasses in January on the east coast! (With the exception of VA obviously!)
