First Buds of 2008

1st_buds_of_spring_2

Monday morning I peaked out my bedroom window to see our Chinese Plum tree launching it's first buds of 2008. Probably by this weekend the tree will be springing forth in full flower.

This marks what I traditionally call the "happy time of year"-- when the return of new life reminds us all of the upside to every dark period in our lives.

Let's celebrate the return of the Happy Time!

These minute blooms emerge simultaneously from our neglected outdoor flower pots. Can't you see them shout with joy?

RYC of the other day--I agree that it's frustrating that the Oregon primary is so late. On the plus side, we don't get the political advertising and annoying phone calls.

I cannot believe you had buds in Feb!!!

ryc: The most direct line with the Mayflower I have is William Brewster, but my family also goes back through John Alden too. Wow, very neat that Kathy's family goes back to the Mayflower too!

Hi good to hear from you and get an update on your family. So enjoyed seeing your wife's pics of the grandbabies. Give her my love and I will blog with her soon. Craig went with us to Easter service so that was exciting. He will be walking Angie down the aisle there April 12th!

Our crab-apple tree is gorgeous. Beneath the cherry tree looks like fallen snow. Persimmon trees are leafing out..and WEEDS are flourishing! But your pictures speak volumes!
