Buds, bugs and blooms on our Northwood Maple Tree
On the new edge of springtime when I stand on the front porch shading my eyes from the weak morning light, sniffling out a tinge of green on the hill and the scent of yawning earthworms, oh, boy, then! I roll like a bear out of hibernation. The maple buds glow pink, the forsythia breaks into it's bright yellow aria. These are the days when we can't keep ourselves indoors around here.

Don't you just LOVE watching spring come to life!
Dear SpringLadyOfTheNorth,
I have enjoyed watching Spring come to life on the mid-western prairie more this year than ever before. It is brilliant with vivid color and you can see, smell, hear, taste, and feel it happening! I think it is our shortest season, so it seems I appreciate it more!
love,
sensing Spring to the fullest

This entry doesn't have so many entry's, so... I'll leave one. Our trees are still just buds. No blossoms. I love the new blossoms like those in the spring!
I am wondering what that is? It doesn't look like anything around here.
Kat, it's a opened up bud on our Northwood Maple tree. :)
