    My cousin Shirley Ann came for the weekend Thursday evening and will stay until tomorrow evening.We went riding around and saw two huge trees at a driveway.One on each side of it.I think they may be
    Crab Apple trees .I'm just not sure but they are beautiful.Blooms all over them.The bees were all over the blooms.The blooms has no scent.

    Love your pictures...especially your pet frog! He overwintered in your greenhouse??? We have the sphinx moths here in summer too...they're fun to watch. Enjoy your spring and thanks for sharing. We're having a major thaw now, but 7" of snow are predicted here later today. Bah humbug!!!

    You sure are springing out! Glad you are getting to see some things bloom before you go to MT. Love your little friend! :) Those trees are beautiful and the blooms up close are awesome. I have a crab apple that hasn't started to bloom yet, but I'm watching it everyday, so I can get a picture of it. Thanks for sharing. :stew1:

    Such a cute froggie :-D

    I really enjoyed this post. I do not know whenlast I saw a froggie. (probably when I planted my lawn a couple of years back) It is just too hot and dry here. Thanks for the lovely piccies. You plants look fantastic and the blooms are gorgeous.
