...Beautiful spring colors! Thanks for sharing them!<br /><br />Our violets have had a banner year this year. Our dogwood....not so much. I suspect frost arrived at an inopportune time for it. It's great to see your dogwood. That's one of my favorite trees!<br /><br />I love that cascading white spirea that you've uncovered!! I really want to find a sunny spot for a few of those on my property, but I'm not sure it will happen. (We don't have much sun.) Maybe I'll just enjoy yours from afar!!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-86130585240774659612010-05-01T12:28:03.327-04:002010-05-01T12:28:03.327-04:00The purple flowers of spring are my favorites.

No idea why.<br />Ours is blossoming more then ever at the moment, but we haven't mowed or cut it. Probably the winter weather may have influenced it?Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09457801491872035594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-2406053838900806852010-05-01T01:55:23.933-04:002010-05-01T01:55:23.933-04:00beautiful colours, especially the pink of the almo...beautiful colours, especially the pink of the almond tree.

Not sure how many years before it starts producing, but oh will we love the color every spring.<br /><br />Theresa, that just means that we'll get to enjoy your spring color in the near future! And you'll be laughing at our weeds and heat. ;)<br /><br />Julene, you may be right about the mowing. I've made it a "no mow" zone, which is good because the eventual goal is to have very little grass to cut. Unfortunately, it's riddled with weeds, like everything else around here. :(<br /><br />Benita, those are my favs too. I did get a couple of redbuds from Arbor Day Foundation. I just have to decide where to plant them!<br /><br />Nina, isn't it interesting? I'm so glad Sue did her Colors of ... Challenge. Pink spirea sounds lovely. <br /><br />Barb, I think green is actually my favorite color, followed by purples and blues. And I do like a cool pink too. :)<br /><br />Sharon, that's the plan anyway. But oh Sharon, now that everything's growing it's becoming a jungle. To top it off, we don't keep up with mowing our lawn like our neighbors do, so we look like the neighborhood ragamuffin most of the time!<br /><br />Robin, you should join in! Still two days left in April!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-71808007963092583972010-04-29T03:58:06.232-04:002010-04-29T03:58:06.232-04:00I love the flowers that come with Spring.I love the flowers that come with Spring.Robinhttp://farmfolly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-35157307113027534842010-04-28T21:21:50.115-04:002010-04-28T21:21:50.115-04:00You little five acres is becoming a bit of an oasi...You little five acres is becoming a bit of an oasis, not that you haven't worked your tails off to make it.

I think fruit producing trees are some of the prettiest in the spring. Can you imagine how lovely your almond tree will be in a few more years!<br />I've some pink spirea to plant later this week.
