Hurry up, Spring!
Being exposed to what might be the worst and longest winter on record has made me extra-vigilant about finding signs Spring is on its way.
Spring in Central Illinois
It’s been raining off and on for much of the week. Wicked lightning and frightening claps of thunder split the early morning hours; standing rain is a common sight. We hope this means no drought this year, but who knows?
Nevertheless, I managed to step outside between showers and capture a few signs of Spring. Please enjoy!
Trees are beginning to leaf out.
Yellow daffodils are in bloom.
This weeping cherry is a replacement for the blue spruce we lost last year.
This is a closeup of the weeping cherry blossoms. I understand that when they die off, they’re replaced by leaves.
Blue hyacinths dot a neighbor’s yard, wafting their perfume everywhere.
Hyacinths come in pink, too!
No roses yet, but this show rose is full of leaves.
A yellow forsythia hedge.
This magnolia tree is going to be splendid!
Do you call this a jonquil or a daffodil? Whatever, isn’t it beautiful?
