Spring is Springing

Just a couple weeks ago, it was cold and snowing.  This morning though, while I was making breakfast for the family, I was looking out our big picture window and watching the birds flying in and out of our lilac bush with the leaf buds just coming out.

I walked around yesterday and took a look at all the trees we planted over the last few years.  You never know how they'll take the winters (or the summers for that matter) when they are that young.  It looks like they all survived the winter!  The Redbud tree is even putting on some red buds.

And my tomato seeds I planted last week are poking their heads out of the dirt and saying hello!

I know it's just March 15th and Spring doesn't officially get here for another week or so, but it definitely looks like Spring is springing around here!
