The lawn is mowed and looks very nice. Don't look too closely, I had to dig out dandelions.
The weeping cherry is bloomed out and the wind is stripping the blooms so quickly.
I found a patch of wild violets in one of the flowerbeds. I think I'll keep them.
The crabapple is ready to bloom, as you see by it's little flower buds.
I spotted this redbud tree in town. We ended up cutting half of our tree down, it was dead. It never looked this nice ever.
Another tree around the corner from the redbud. So pretty with the lush green lawn.
By the park. Our park has removed all tall old trees, but a few. It looks strange after so many years of seeing all the tall trees . Lots of the trees removed were Ash. They were dead and dying because of the Emerald Ash Bore.
You can see what the wind and rain did to this tulip tree. A sidewalk covered in petals. So sad, the blooms are gone that fast. . I want to get ready and head out to Horton's . I am going to by some flowers and plants for my containers. Please enjoy your day. XO
Everything is beginning to green up and blossom out! I so enjoy the blooms of spring. Even the weeds have pretty flowers on them.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, It seemed forever before the real greening of spring arrived. :):) I always love the flowering tree...but the bloom never last long enough. Blessings for a fun filled weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh that redbud!! I always wanted one! I planted a tiny baby one at my previous house, but it never took off.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I have always wanted a dogwood and redbud . Our dogwood never last the year and the redbud , well half of it died last year. I still do not understand what happened. I always want to plant dwarf trees or flowering ones. We have had to remove trees that reach their limit here. Like weeping willows. I love the looks of them...but you never want them near the septic or any sewer lines. Blessings for a fun weekend of gardening. I know you are ready. xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour front lawn looks very nice, Susie. You are finally seeing Spring flowers come alive. That is a pretty picture of the crabapple tree. It almost looks like a painting. We had the Pink blossom trees all over my town, but the rain washed the flowers to the ground. But it was a pretty sight to see them on the ground, cause I knew that we wouldn't get to see them again until next year. Have a fun time at Horton's. Be sure to show us if you buy anything.

Thank you Sheri. I have loved just going around looking at all the wonderful flowers of spring. I like seeing the petals on the porch. Blessings for a great weekend. xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteI thought of you today when I saw Hortons Facebook post! It’s all looking lovely where you are! Wild violets! How cool is that?
ReplyDeleteLinda, I actually like the wild violets, although some think they are weed like. :):) I did not get as many flowers at Horton's ..I will be going back. Blessings to you and LD. love you guys, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWild violets and redbuds. Two of my favorites~! Yay, spring!
ReplyDeleteI just love all the flowering trees Jeanie. I guess I have turned into my mother...she would always say, "Oh I want a tree like that". LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHow lucky to find wild violets. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring my friend. Have fun planting your containers.
xx oo
Carla
Carla, I am so behind of planting any flowers. But I am ready . I thought I only wanted red...now I am looking more for yellow and orange. I want something bright. It took spring so long to get here. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour lawn looks great, Susie. Sweet violets are my favorite small spring flower. They are just so sweet and always make me smile.
ReplyDeleteI bet that park does look strange with all the older trees removed-just sad that they were diseased.
Have a great weekend, Susie.
xo Diana
Diana, The park looks nothing like when my children were small. All the old hot metal slides and monkey bars are gone. How the heck did our children or for that matter we older folks survive our childhoods. ? It is starting to be nice here. Love you, Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, Hi! It is so lush & green here too. But the blooms are slow this year. Not sure if we'll have any. (darn) But, time will tell. (I wasn't sure we'd have anything but 'white' in our yard this year..ha!)Guess it is time to buy some plants...I can't wait. I really miss Tom at this time of the year too. I can go by myself but not for long. I always hate to ask others to go with etc.. At any rate..just having spring is a blessing!!
ReplyDeleteGert
Gert, Didn't it seem we were all longing for spring as it took forever to get here. All of blogland seemed to wish for warmer weather...then we get record breaking heat is May. LOL. What is going on? Wishing you a beautiful day and nice week of sweet porch sitting weather. That is what I want too. xoxo, Blessings, love, Susie
DeleteYou will have fun choosing flowers to plant. I hope your weather will be delightful this weekend. Your yard is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteMildred, I did not buy many plants as they were higher than last year...but I will go back, once I get these containers started. LOL I did paint some porch things, so far. Blessings to you and your husband, xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteLooking very "springy" there! That lawn DOES LOOK so nice, just mowed. I also love the smell of fresh cut grass. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteDebbi, It is crazy how dandelions pop up in an hour or two. LOL. I am trying to stay on top of them....hard to do with the farmers ditches full of them. They are already puffed and blowing in the wind. I hope the bees get some necter from them. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe rain has made everything suddenly green! Your photos are wonderful. I look forward to seeing more of your flower photos as the weather warms up.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen, I am ready for color. But oh my goodness....I painted some of my porch things yellow and they look so very bright...yikes, might have to white wash over them. I will live with it awhile first. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGood photo's Susie and your lawn is very nice. Love that everything is so green now.
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia, I like your new photo. I am loving this sweet day of just right...not cold n not hot temperature today. Blessings to you, hope you can sit out on your porch. xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie! Oh, everything looks so beautiful around you. Isn't spring green the prettiest. We're just now turning green and things are beginning to bloom. This has been the coldest winter since we've been here. Thank you for popping in to see me and I'll to be a better blogger.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Yesterday and today seem more like true spring. Not real hot and not cold...the sun is out this morning. Shelia, I hope you are enjoying good weather too. Oh yes, we had a long winter...with bitter cold for a few days. Blessings to you and your family, xoxo, Susie
DeleteEverything is blooming late this year. Our spindly white dogwood is starting to bloom but the lilac just got leaves....must look to see if it will bloom. Your yard looks beautiful! Don't you just love spring?? I do.
ReplyDeleteDoris, It took winter forever to arrive. I am not ready for the heat of summer yet...I like the 65-70 degree days the best. Hope you are getting to enjoy your screened room. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
