Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Every Blooming Thing-- May 1st

It's that time of the year again, and none too soon,

All this rain has brought spring upon us in a major way.

The last two weekends, I've been down south, April 18th in Springfield and Litchfield, Illinois. April 25th in Indianapolis and Cincinnati. Got a good dose of spring down there, but now, it's here.

The grass is completely green and I even had to cut it Wednesday.

All the bushes and trees are budding. The two Japanese lilacs already have their leaves. The three Bradford pear trees are getting ready to bud.

All the daffodils are in full bloom as are a few of the tulips and the rest have already set their buds. Creeping phlox are starting to bloom as are the goldens. The hyacinths and grape hyacinths are out as well.

Rhododendrons are gloriously purple. The chick and hen type plants are gray and gold.

It's Good to Have You Back, Spring. --RoadDog
