Spring is sprung!!!

[AmberLee]

Okay, it probably hasn't in most places where people are reading this post yet ...

Yesterday I was really annoyed: I'd had to hand deliver a report to another area due to a mix-up and I got mildly chewed out for it being late. On my way back to my office, I was stopped at a light and suddenly noticed the trees were covered with pink blossoms and the corner bricked area was overflowing with tiny white blossoms (looked like those thumb sized white sweetheart roses) and big yellow daffodils. It was an absolute thrill to see. I wish you could've enjoyed it with me.

Spring IS coming. ;) :p :D

OK if you say so, but with two snow storms heading our way this weekend (one tonight and one Sunday night) it's hard to believe. For now, I'm having a moment of envy just reading your post! :)

Yep! All of the trees in our backyard are covering with white blossoms when they usually don't bloom till late March! :eek: But the cool thing is when the blossoms fall, since its white, it looks like snow! I'll try to get a picture of that! It REALLY looks like we have snow in the backyard when you look from far, but its really just flower petals. :( My dad and brother started getting hay fever already (usually starts late March). "sigh" This winter's weird. The birdies started molting for spring too! Read my thread.........http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21079

No blossoms here yet , but I can see some flowers peeking out already !! Yippie !! I LOVE SPRING TOO !!!!:D :D :D

OK now I'm really jealous!!!! There is absolutely NO hint of spring in New Jersey!!! The trees are bare and I haven't seen my grass since November! It's freezing cold and my driveway and walkway are still full of ice. With more snow on the way, I wonder, will it ever stop?!!:o

[popcornbird]

I'm going to take a pic of the hint of spring in our backyard! :p

Here I was excited because I saw 2 robins and noticed the grass (weeds) was turning green in spots!!! Nary a DaffyDillz or crocus in sight!
SIGH:( :D

AmberLee,

Well.....I'll take your word for it. I'd dearly love to see Spring
weather SOON. Since Friday we've had rain, freezing rain, snow
and now winds of 25mph and MORE snow. It's FREEZING in
Indiana. Awww, can't wait for Spring, green grass & flowers. :D

[Cataholic]

Lizbud and Phred are RIGHT! We haven't seen hide nor hair of Spring...though, I did hear next week should get to temps in the 40s!

[anna_66]

Obviously you haven't seen the 7+ inches of snow in my yard:eek: :p

[CountryWolf07]

Snow is on the ground here.. no signs of spring, yet.. oh man.. I am sick of the cold, I'm sick of winter. I'm ready for spring, even better, summer. I am ready for Florida in 4 weeks, Florida here I come...

[Miss Meow]

We've had a couple of cooler days and nights, so hopefully we can send some warm weather up north :)

Yay, a few more days of cool weather are forecast. I'm gonna get my soup pot and make a big pot of sweet potato and coconut soup to celebrate. Woohoo!

Yum, sounds great. Can we get the recipe?

[Miss Meow]

It's in the recipe thread, so I've bumped it :)

[AmberLee]

Thanks. I'm looking forward to re-reading it, and maybe it'll stick in my memory this time!

:) :rolleyes: (Oh the joys one can have with a lousy memory -- so many things we discover for the first time, many times! :p

[NoahsMommy]

Popcorn, those pictures are beautiful! I looks like that here too...I just keep hoping they don't loose those blossoms too soon. :) They really are gorgeous.

We have a ton of cherry plum trees, and they are covered in pink blossoms right now. So pretty. :)

[neko1]

Yikes!! Way too much snow here this morning!!!

You have to know where to and what to look for, but my crocus and daffodils are showing about an inch of green! It really feels like spring here today.

But I'm sorta jealous of the east coast and all that snow. We lived in central CT for 15 years and I well remember those monstrous snows and having a good excuse to stay home for a few days.;)

I think Jersey is on a completely different planet than everyone else!! I wish I could switch planets to something warmer and tropical (St. Lucia- 4 more months!!!!)
