Spring is my absolute favorite time of year. The flowering trees in April and the emerging green of leaves and plants, so brightening and fresh, can't help but bring happiness and joy. Spring is also when my gardens are at their peak as far as blooming. Daily walkabouts are like greeting old friends, and each day something new is coming into its own. The past few days it has been the weeping cherry, and today I noticed the viburnum carlesii is blooming. The early daffodils have waned, but the mid bloomers have started, and still to come are the late bloomers. The old fashioned bleeding hearts are close, just a few more days and they will be in bloom. SO many others, hard to mention them all.
