SPRING! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Spring in Newport Tennessee April 2017! I took a series of three of these photos trying to capture the buds just opening up on my neighbor's Tree.  I got the Barn in the pasture next door in this photo. 

This is what Spring looked like a week ago.  Today it's a rainy cold day! it's in the 40's out there, Chilly and windy with a wind chill in the high 30's   Brrrrrrrrrrrr  Oh well - It's said April Showers bring May Flowers - Really? Cant wait till the weekend when the temps are back in the 70's. 

I'm listening to the news about the storm that Blew thru last night. Straight line winds did a lot of damage in Knoxville, blowing off roofs and downing trees but not tornados noted Thankfully!

SIGNS OF SPRING!

Signs of Spring - "Springing Up!" This Morning I woke to a lovely Springish day.  With a warm and wet spring rain outside..... A promise to be a good day today! I  looked around to see spring showing up in a lot of places.... when I went to my mailbox this afternoon the daffodils and violets were Peaking Thru.  The Pear Tree in my front yard had flower blossoms blooming this morning from the bottom.... Yesterday the buds were still closed.

Yesterday I went to my Womens Bible Study and a few of the Cherry Trees were in full bloom.  I just had to take a picture... as I was driving toward my home my neighbor Pat's Garden was abloom with Daffodils and this morning her Magnolia tree was starting to blossom too.
