Spring!

I have to say, while I am fond of cooler temperatures, it seemed like a very long, cold winter this time around.  I was ready for spring, and most of what it brings.  

Milo enjoys sitting out on the deck with me, rocking on the patio chair.

The red bud in the lower yard is beautiful.

The apple tree is trying to get going.

The weeping willow is coming along nicely.

J picked some phlox for me, and I had just the right tiny little bottle in which to display it.

There have been several visits to the park.

And a poster made (mainly by J with a little help by me) for a festival here in our hometown.

But there's some bad associated with springtime in the South as well, namely tornado season.  Here we are hunkered down in the tiny guest bathroom----2 dogs, one cat, and 3 humans.  

J and Mr. GV found a way to pass the time.

Me?  I sat there and obsessively checked the radar, the warnings, and in general just worried.  That's what I do during ugly weather.  It makes me feel like I have some control which of course I do not.  :)  

What is springtime in your neck of the woods like?
