Signs of spring

Spring will always be my favorite season. I love the sweetness in the air and how suddenly everything seems like it is in bloom. A couple days ago I took advantage of a sleepy baby to snap some pictures of the signs of spring around these parts.

Blossoms are my favorite.

I'm really good at killing plants, but so far these daffodils (above) and tulips (below) that I planted in the fall are growing well! Fingers crossed that they survive me long enough to bloom.

My lilacs are just about to bloom!

The bees love the blossoms on my neighbor's crab-apple tree almost as much as I do.

Happy first second day of spring! ;)
