Kicking off a beautiful Spring morning with a vase full of aromatic lilac blooms.
Such a shame that these beauties are so short-lived… as are most Spring flowers!






Trees are blooming… Spring is here! The temps are still a bit chilly,
but it’s nice having the flowers hang on just a wee bit longer!










Spring is in the air… and we’re at the end of our “forsythia season” with most bushes petering-out. But I found a “protected” one this morning still in full bloom. So nice to see Nature’s colors again… other than the “gray & brown” of late Winter!








Second day of Spring… and I’m already loving our little heatwave & so are the early-Spring flowers!







Celebrating today as the FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!
We have a great weather forecast for this weekend… and things are looking encouraging!!!


When I came home this afternoon, my neighborhood looked like beautiful snow globe. We still had a lot of yellow leaves on some trees… and it was magical to see the snow sticking & piling up on the branches.














Looks like some of our yellow Fall leaves got a little caught off guard by the snow today… especially these maple leaves that came down off the trees today along with a few inches of snow!




So many leaves are on the ground. So many colors. So many textures.
I love Fall… I just don’t like that it ends too soon!!









Okay I tried… I really did. But my plan of working all day setting up my Home Show got totally sidelined by my bike & some stunning weather!!! Today we almost hit 70-degrees & sunny… while tomorrow the temps are supposed to drop more than 20-degrees!!! So this might have been our last chance for sleeveless bike riding through gorgeous Fall colors!!! So I seized the moment!!!
