What pretty pictures.

I don't have that much blooming this early, and what has bloomed hardly lasted any time at all in the unusual heat. My weeping cherry was beautiful- for 2 days. Crocus lasted about 2 days too. Temps were in the mid 80s, and I guess it was just too hot for them.

Cooler air came back Thursday- complete with storms. With the flower petals flying - mostly from all the Bradford pears in the area- it looked more like snow than rain. The tree flowers will likely be gone (from all the rain and wind) today or tomorrow . And the pollen counts have been astronomical.
