It looks like spring!
We’ve got some lovely weather this week, and true to the south, it’s even going to be rather hot later on! At least if the weatherman’s predictions are right!
There are still a lot of daffodils blooming in the flowerbeds. . .
Daffodils (Narcissus)
And some of the other spring flowers are starting to poke through the earth.
Prairie trillium (Trillium recurvatum)
There aren’t any blooms on the trillim yet, but they are popping up all over the woods.
There are also beds of Trout Lilies springing up. . .
Trout Lily ( Erythronium americanum)
But here again, it will be a little while before they are in bloom.
The dandelions are blooming here and there. . .
Dandelions (Taraxacum officinale) and violets (Viola papilionacea)
Some consider dandelions and wild violets to be weeds, but I rather like seeing them.
Even the honeybees are coming out to enjoy the sunshine and look for food.
Beeee-ware!
The perennials are starting to poke through the ground too, like these hosta plants and live-forever.

Sedum 'Matrona'
Whether it is good or bad, the pond is even showing green plant growth. . .

This is one of the best parts of the year. Unfortunately, we don’t have what I’d call spring-like days – moderately warm – for long. Nope, it gets hot all too quickly.
But for now, it looks like spring!
