Finally, it’s the first day of spring! Woot! The weather is looking great too – temperature today will be in the high 60’s and the sun is shining. And if we get lucky, the temperature might go up to lower 70’s. 😉
And today, I’ll be talking all things spring. How’s that for the first day of spring? Is it obvious that I am so excited for this day to come. I believe I’m not the only one feeling that way. And if you’re new here, I’ve shared spring blooms here on the blog previously. Blooms that I’ve seen the previous weeks around the city. Too funny though, I’ve shared all those blooms and I totally forgot sharing about my own periwinkles.
So here they are. They started blooming more or less three weeks ago and have survived the late-winter snow and frost we’ve had. I planted them on a sloping bank in our backyard and I can see them from our kitchen window. I’ve had them for five years now and they spread so much more every year. They are so easy to grow with very minimal care. They produce gorgeous blooms too. Got to love this plant.
I bought this hyacinth in a jar at the grocery store. This is the first year that I’ve had them and I was blown away by their fragrance. I had no idea they have such a sweet smell. It’s sitting on our mantel but the blooms are almost gone.
The hubs had been so looking forward to spring and one of the reasons is this. Yup, he can’t wait to play golf again. Like I said on Instagram, this photo was taken last fall, but the place will look like this again before we know it. I honestly can’t wait to explore the outdoors too. There have been days that I wanted for the hubs and I to go walking, but it was just too chilly to go. I think I’m becoming a wuss like him. 😀
How’s the first day of spring in your neck of the woods? Hope it’s great!
I am SO glad it is spring! I really can’t wait for the weather to warm up – great pics!
AHHH!! It’s FINALLY here. And it actually looks like spring will be springing in full force, soon.
I think we skipped spring all together here! It has been in the 90s all week and I enjoy it. I like hot. Usually when I gets really hot we do stay indoors but right now we are out constantly trying to enjoy this weather.
Happy First Day of Spring to you! In New England, it was sunny and over 50 today. I’ll take it! I can’t wait until the snow melts and the flowers bloom here.
I am so happy that SPRING is here! I’m tired of winter and ready for rebirth and new life! Bring on the flowers!
I am SO ecstatic that Spring is here. I have been impatiently waiting its arrival!
I am so excited for the weather to warm up so I can start working in my garden. I hope everyone had a great first day of Spring.
Happy First Day of spring. I’m glad the weather is getting warmer on your side. Back here, it’s summer time.
OMG, I missed the first day of spring? I could’ve got a dairy queen cone for free! Mondays….lol
My favorite time of year, more sunlight and getting to garden!! I am so excited!
We live in the south, so it’s summer and spring all year long. We do have a few cool days during the winter. Oh, I also love the smell of hyacinths. They remind me of watermelon.
I’m so glad that it’s finally spring! I just wish it felt more like it. It’s still chilly here where I live.
We noticed that the tree outside our house is starting to bloom. My youngest actually mentioned it to me last week. He said spring is on its way. The flowers are beautiful.
So excited for Spring and I am ready for gardening! I love warm weather!
I am so happy that it is finally spring! I can’t wait until things turn green and start to bloom here!
Happy Spring! I wish it felt like spring here, but we got hit with a huge storm just last week and there is still so much snow. And temperatures will be below normal for the coming days.
Yay! Happy first day of Spring! Love all the flowers coming out in bloom!
Ahh I am so excited spring is here! It’s been a cold winter but the temperatures finally rising is so exciting!
It’s officially spring and I’m glad that I’ve done cleaning house. Love those photos.
Yay to Spring, I LOVE this time of year! well, you never can be too sure in MN it is still March and that means it can still snow and it is, of course, still cold out… thanks for the pictures of the flowers, I can almost smell them : )
I absolutely love the fact that it is spring now! I love the flowers, and am looking forward to seeing more beautiful nature around now – thank you for this positive reminder!
Our first day of spring here in the DC area was really cold. I’m looking forward to the bright sun and warm temps. It is coming, so I won’t rush it.
Spring feels like it’s taking it’s own sweet time here. We had a very mild winter but spring seems to just be only a few degrees warmer so far. Bring it on!
