Signs of Spring

I've been meaning to take pictures of some of our flowers. This is the hanging basket on our front porch:



One of the trees in our front yard is absolutely gorgeous. I didn't realize until I was discussing it with a coworker that it's a dogwood tree. I need to remember to take pictures of it in the fall/winter because it has these amazing red berries. So nice. Here it was a few weeks ago:


This is when I thought it couldn't be a pink dogwood because the colors were a deep red:


But now the flowers are most definitely pink:


I just love how perfect each flower is:





We also have pink tulips:


And a few daffodils (although by now these are gone):


I love spring!!

  3. Katie - I feel very lucky...and to think, I didn't even know it was there. And this is our second spring in the house, too. Whoops! :)

    Melissa - Some days I would trade the grass and flowers for your access to amazing food!

  5. longhair - Which plant are you talking about? The dogwoods? Remember, you guys are much closer to the equator. :)
