Happy spring, y’all!
I know I’m not the only one who looks forward to the first day of spring here in the northern hemisphere. But it was ironic how our first day of spring was yesterday, temperature wise. We had spring-like weather last week, and all of sudden, it plummeted back again to the 40’s yesterday, right on the first day of spring. And it is still chilly today with only highs in the 50’s. Nonetheless, it can’t be denied that spring is finally here. And these gorgeous blooms are the absolute proof.
We were out and about on Friday afternoon and I was delighted to see those trees everywhere in the city once again showcasing their beautiful white blooms. I always look forward to this time of year because these beauties never fail to delight me. Me and my love for flowers. I took this photo while inside the car and while we stopped because of the red light. Perfect timing!
I was thinking to tour the city and take photos for another blog post. If the weather will cooperate this week, I’ll grab my DSLR and tag my hubby along to join me. Well, basing on the forecast, it looks like we are going to have some nice and sunny days this week. I just hope it won’t change. You do know how unpredictable the weather can be. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to accomplish my plan.
Here in North Carolina, daffodils start to sprout as early as February. And by the first week of March, they had already reached their full bloom. And when spring begins technically, their flowers are already gone. But seeing their blooms definitely bring me joy because it only means one thing: winter is almost over and spring is on the horizon. 🙂
I can’t wait to see the rest of my flowers’ bloom. I’m already seeing some flower buds on my azaleas as well as my creeping phlox, and before I know it, they will be showing their beautiful flowers as well. And of course, not to forget the beautiful purple hostas.
How was your first day of spring?
Our flowers started to bloom here, too, but then it snowed today so they are probably going to die. Sigh. Mother Nature tricked us.
I love the flowers and how I wish I had a garden. I can’t wait to see your flowers when they are in full bloom.
WOW those flowers are GORGEOUS!! I wish I could keep plants alive! I kill just about everything we have so we have sort of just enjoyed those who can grow it!
OMG! that is so pretty!! I love that you are in bloom! Where are just starting to see hints of green popping up from the ground! I can’t wait!! I love spring time!
Beautiful flowers! We need to replant some beautiful flowers, but I certainly can’t wait for the Easter Lilies to bloom!
I love spring because it’s so pretty. I just don’t care for the pollen glaze on everything. Your flowers are beautiful. I want to plant tulips but I don’t know how well they would do in Texas.
Just gorgeous! Spring is coming extra early this year, so our flowers are also blooming. It’s been lovely for walks & just sitting on my porch with a cup of coffee.
What a beautiful flowers, I have a small garden and I saw my flowers yesterday and they were blooming now. I love Spring season
Yaa that tree and flowers look soo pretty. I thought Spring was here in our neck of the woods but then we got 3 inches of snow yesterday!
Just beautiful! My daffodils are just starting to bloom then it snowed, they are ll wilted now, sigh.
We have been having some nice spring weather here. We do not have any flowers popping up yet. I am excited for the warm weather to come.
I wanted daffodils for my vow renewal so badly but they were out of season in June. And no other country transports them to the US out of our own season. Your pictures are beautiful.

I love spring! So many beautiful colors and so many blooms to see! It really brings you out of that funk from winter!
I can’t believe flowers are already coming in!! It seems to soon, they are gorgeous though!!
Ong so pretty!!!! Since I love in NY it’s especially exciting when flowers start to bloom!!!!! Any day now, hopefully!
I can’t get over that first picture…it’s stunning! It doesn’t feel like spring here just yet..I’ll live vicariously through you! lol!
I’m so jealous of you! Here in Idaho, winter definitely hasn’t left us yet. Some of the hardiest plants are coming back to life, but it will be a few more weeks before we have color. In fact, we had a winter storm advisory just today!
So beautiful. I love spring, can’t wait to grow some flowers ( we’re moving into a new house soon)
How beautiful!! I can’t wait for Spring to finally take over, I missed all the beautiful flowers around our neighborhood.
My son called me into the yard just the other day saying ” mom there is something in the yard and its alive but not moving, come see!” Me scared that my dog had killed something went to check it out. Yep it was flowers coming up, haha 🙂 Kids!
Aww, too funny and too cute! 🙂
Beautiful! I can’t wait for spring to really get here lol We had snow yesterday and today it looks like winter all over again! =(
I agree with you! Just today I was admiring the flowers blooming in my front yard! So pretty!
I am so ready to welcome spring. I need to grow some flowers this year. I always try to start a garden but it never works!
