Here is a small taste of some things in bloom around my town right now.
This beautiful dogwood tree in front of the town hall.
A weeping cherry that is so large you can’t see the house behind it! I love this tree.
Can you see that someone tied lavender ribbons to its branches? Probably for Easter. The year we moved here it was Easter weekend and they had little eggs tied tied to its branches.
Not sure what this is, but it’s a miniature waterfall of white blooms. Maybe a mini weeping cherry in white?
I had to include this creepy sign for the florist. What do you think of it? I guess it’s been a landmark for years, only Kim tells me that it used to look even more like Michael Jackson than it does now!
I stopped by the local nursery to snap some pics of what they have out now. An explosion of color! (The daffodils in my header were taken here.)
I don’t know if it’s my over active imagination or what, but these daffodils look to me like they are trying to look around in every direction and saying ... hellloooo!
And last, but not least, this sleepy bee found a great napping spot. At first I thought he was dead but when I stroked him with my finger he moved his legs a little bit. Lazy spring bee!
They call us the Garden State for a reason!
