AZALEA BUSHES

These two white azalea bushes are over 30 years
old. The tallest one is over 8 feet tall. They
are the fist to bloom every year.

My husband stood his surveying rod next to the
tallest one and hopefully, if you click on the
picture to enlarge it, you can see the height
marked on the rod.


Same white azalea bushes just another view
with one of my pink azalea bushes.

A TOUCH OF SPRING

Daffodil blooming amongst the leaves.
Forsythia bush blooming.

Wild baby breath blooming.
Spring is still 5 weeks and 4 days away but here
in central Alabama it is starting to poke its head.
With weather in the 60's and 70's it does this every
year, and then we have a cold spell and a heavy
frost and poof gone are the blooming flowers. I
hope this year will be different.

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY

Will there be 6 more
weeks of winter or
will we have an early
spring?

Some say this little
fellow can tell us.
Sunny and he sees
his shadow retreats
back into his burrow
6 more weeks of winter.
Cloudy and he fails to
see his shadow winter
will end soon.
