Spring has sprung

Last week snow - today it is 84 degrees. The snow is melting fast and I am starting to see the buds of the trees, robins and flowers. Yeah!!!

Nora! Where in MI are you?

I am in Lansing. I have crocuses up all over and a daff is already in bloom! Shorts for me today!

It is supposed to be near 80 tomorrow. Here is to hoping!

It is pretty warm in NJ too!

It is officially HOT in GA!! Over 80! Whew! It'll be full blast hot and humid here in a couple weeks!!! Just about everything either has bloomed already or is blooming.

Its been in the 80s, for over a week. We'll hit 100, next month.

My bougainvillea is blooming a little bit but they have cutworms and may not make it. The aloe vera plants in front of the house are starting to bud, though.

I live in Marquette, Michigan - Upper Peninsula. I've been to Lansing serveral times on business.

I've never seen aloe flowers. Just the green plant. What do their flowers look like?

The magnolia blossoms are finally opening on the tree on my front lawn. They are so pretty! It was 68 here today, going to 80 tomorrow. I love this weather!!!

We had a huge storm last night thunder, lightening, hail and 30 mph winds. It started around 12 Midnight and was in full form by 2 AM. I could tell Max was afraid of the lightening. It lit up the whole house. He could not get close enough to me, so I laid on my side, he laid over one arm and I put the other arm around him. I'm glad I remembered to unplug all the televisions and disconnect the cable.

Its raining, today. Its been so nice, lately and now - YUCK!

Aloe vera flowers are knid of greenish-white. A tall stalk grows up out of the middle of the plant and a cluster of buds sprouts on the top.

It's about time that today is nearly 80 degrees.. Yay!!

It's in the 80's here, too . . .

I think we are getting to just above 80 today, if you can believe that in MICHIGAN!

We slept with the windows open last night It was awesome!
