What a Difference a Year Makes!

Last year, on April 7, I took a picture of the trees in the front of our house.

On March 26, I took a similar picture.

What a difference a year makes! The redbud is going to have to be cut down because it is half dead . . . very sad! We are going to miss the pink flowers on the left side of the driveway. I have a picture of Sepia and Babs in the white petals on the driveway last year. This year, I only have Babs to take out into the "snow."

The tulips are already up and blooming, the magnolia tree is out . . . last year it hadn't started by this time, and two years ago, it was the end of April before the Magnolia bloomed.

We have to take each year as it comes, allergies, pests, heat, cold, and wind. Hoping this warm spring is not a harbinger of the summer ahead.
