Next Round of Blooms

We've had the forsythia, crab apple, cherry, daffodils, crocuses, and early azaleas bloom.  The dogwoods flowers are about done with the trees filling in with leaves.  In fact we are surrounded now with a mountain top of trees covering their bareness with their leaves.

Along with the spent flowers flying in the air, we are experiencing a "dry snow" of seeds from what we believe to be aspen trees.  We didn't see this happen last year.  And now we are seeing the wormy things hit the ground that produced these fluffy seeds.

At present, the lavender is blooming filling the air with the sweetest fragrance; and finally our rhododendrons are about to display their full beauty.

I LOVE this time of year!!!!!
