A Chilly Spring!

We had an early spring with azaleas blooming and trees putting out their light green baby leaves several weeks ago, but Sunday morning we woke up to winter temperatures again!  I'm glad we didn't plant our little garden because there's a chance of frost the next night or two.  A lot of local gardeners have already planted so they'll be trying to protect their tender little plants tonight I'm sure.  It does seem like we always have one last cold snap right around Easter, so hopefully this is the last of the cold!

Some signs of spring in Southeast Texas -

Our Pear Tree 

Our Neighbor's Bluebonnets

Knock Out Rose in Our Front Yard

 

 

This is a plant I have from my Mother-In-Law and I think it's a bromeliad 

Of course the birds have been busy too!  I watched this little bluebird trying to build a nest in the end of a gate at our campground a few weeks ago.  I wish I had better pictures of him - he was so pretty!!

For those of you up north who are still waiting on spring - hang in there!!  It's worth the wait!!  It's time for the snow to be done now isn't it!!!

 

We'll be heading north in a few weeks to visit Jill and Jason, and if we time it right we'll get to enjoy their spring too. 

 

 

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
