Spring!

A beautiful morning for the first day of spring.

Apricot blossom:

Grape hyacinths:

Spring stars:

Regular hyacinth:

Daffodils:


Warm enough for the bees to fly. Here's one in the almond blossom:


The top temperatures for the last week show that spring actually arrived on Friday (colours are the colours used in my temperature quilt a couple of years ago):

1/09/2019     16.5    green
31/08/2019   15.4    green
30/08/2019   16.2    green
29/08/2019     8.8    blue
28/08/2019     9.1    blue
27/08/2019    12.8    aqua/teal
26/08/2019    11.1    aqua/teal

But that doesn't show that this afternoon as I was going to visit my father for Fathers Day the temperature plummeted back to 8, heavy rain fell, and we were back to winter.

Lovely Spring blooms--here we are nearing the last day of summer...cooler temps and the angle of the sun has changed so that we notice it....hugs, Julierose

Hyacynths are one of my favorite spring flowers. They smell so wonderful!

Wish the perfume of all those lovely spring flowers could be digitally transmitted too. I will just have to use my imagination.
