It's starting to look very sping-like in Brit-land now - is spring, springing where you are?
Bit cold today but the colours are fabulous; the yellows of forsythia, daffodils and the whites and pinks of magnolia and chinese blossom trees, along with blue skies.
Thankfully not this time. They are prolly coming though. Week before the big snow we got our @ss handed to us by the winds. We got hammered pretty good. Close to three feet. It just jumped in temp. as soon as it stopped and melted it down.
Yes, after a weird winter the Midwest is beginning to look at lot like spring-mass. And with the warm weather coming up from the gulf, and the cold weather coming down from Canada over the Rockies, tornado season is approaching.
Hi DDB, In February, the Japanese flowering cherry bloom, here in Washington State...including the state capitol in Olympia, everybody drives out to see them. And they are still going here, they last a LONG time! I loved Iowa very much, but these are wonderful coming home to.

Oh definitely Sprung Spring here on South coast of England, though the wind can still have a bit of nip to it.
My garden is busy trying to turn itself into a nature reserve; the lawn's had two cuts so far this year, the flowering cherry is a mass of blossom despite my cutting it back very seriously last Autumn, the hawthorn that sort of wandered into my little front garden is rich in bright green leaves.
Not sure if the climbing hydrangea sapling will survive though, as the local snails or slugs or something have also discovered Spring and eaten all the leaves.
