Spring!

I enjoy seeing this property every year...and this is only part of it....naturalized daffodils, so pretty!

I think the trees are holding this building  up!

love this pretty Spring pillow I ordered!

 Clump of daffodils in our yard....

Work at the River

The  twins helped us down at the river a while back....part of the bank had fallen in after the November flood....Big Sycamore had lowered enough that it was in the way. Richard cut it up and the boys helped clear the brush....they were good help.

Last thing they did was make a nice woodpile..their idea!  This morning Richard and I went down there and hauled it to town in preparation of more high water...

County Road

We drove out a couple county roads yeterday.  Have seen this bus in the woods many times...maybe it's used for storage...or a hunting cabin?

Everything is so  green....and the sky was beautiful!

 

another bus!

 Always fun to get out and look at the countryside!

Spring Travels

Naturalized area of BlueEyed Mary

Perhaps I could get a better picture if I got out of the truck!

Pretty stream

someone used a lot of branches/ this went on for a little ways!  Lots of work!

 

Dogwood Trees

These pictures don't even begin to show how lovely the Dogwoods were this year.  They blanketed the hillsides and before the other trees leafed out  it almost looked like snow on the hillsides...Dogwood snow I called it. I was unable to capture how it looked,but it was beautiful!

 

Snowy Day

Today we got about three inches of snow. It was so pretty. I enjoyed watching it and it's pretty much all melted  already.   Here are some lilacs holding some snow!

and some Redbud Flowers

Wild Sweet William. not as much snow here  as it was under a bunch of tree branches.

a snowy Columbine!

 

Warm Day

Yesterday was a warm day and we went on a walk.   The  Dogwood  trees have been outstanding this year....you can see the hillsides just white with them. So pretty!

Not sure  what the name of this flower is....I need to look it up. It was short, maybe six inches and the little fuzzy parts at the top were super soft.
