Despite the fact that there is still little piles of snow tucked away here & there, spring is on it’s way. My allergies tell me so.
As does the tulip magnolia across the street in Jennifer’s back yard.
The tulip magnolia has exactly 2 buds that have cracked open at the top of the tree. If you look very closely, you can see it.
The cherry tree has the beginnings of blossoms.
As does the one next door.
And in Brian’s back yard, the maples are turning red.

I'm jealous. It's 32 and snowing here. Boo hoo.
Wait until those tulip magnolias are in full bloom this year – they will be gorgeous!
My allergies have been crazy already, too.
That's the stuff that gives us hope–fresh blooms!
