SPRING, GLORIOUS SPRING

Yesterday Jim and I made the drive down to his Mom's home, a small town about eighty miles south of our home. It was a beautiful day for our drive, morning temperature was cool and quickly warmed up to a very warm 86 degrees in the afternoon.

The Spring flower show starts early here, with daffodils blooming at the beginning of February, now everything is waking up with new blooms coming forth every day. Here are a few photographs to share until everything  is in its glory, usually in May,  at which time I'll share more photos of all the beautiful flowers.
The picture above is the view from my Mother-in-laws kitchen window, a Church in the distance with the Cherry Tree Blossoms making their first appearance. Wow, what inspiration to start a day.
More of this show in a future post so please stay tuned.....

Enjoy the show!
