Spring Fever Continues

I thought I’d share a few photos of what the South looks like this time of year. When I first moved here 14 years back I was so amazed at the trees and flowers that bloomed in the spring. Over the years I have not been as appreciative of the beauty here as I was my first few years. I guess my trip to Toronto when it was so cold this year made me appreciate home that much more.

The tree below is a Cherry tree near my mailbox. It’s so beautiful when the sunlight is on all the blooms. And it doesn't hurt to have the "Carolina Blue" skies in the background either.


The azalea below is in my front yard to the right of my stairs. It’s starting to be crowded out by another bush. I think this year I may need to do some pruning to make sure it does better next year. The bright red blooms on this bush are wonderful.

This little dogwood started growing in my dirt driveway a few years back. I have this love for the dogwood trees here and I couldn’t just dig it up and let it die. The dogwood has passed its prime for the blooming but it’s still great to see a small twig I planted in the ground make it into a real tree.

I have enjoyed my short weekend home. I got in around 8PM on Friday and I head out to the airport at 5AM tomorrow. It’s off to California again. I am flying into John Wayne Airport (Santa Ana). This is a great little airport and you don’t have to deal with the hustle and bustle of the LAX airport.

Spring Fever

Hey there everyone. Sorry I haven’t written much this week. I have had a raging case of Spring Fever the past two weeks. I have been working from home and when it’s time to get off work I am outta here.

The past two days I’ve taken a walk with my neighbor. Last night we walked around the neighborhood and today we walked about 2 miles through the park that backs up to my house. The trees are in bloom and I have the doors open at the house.

Next week I’m heading north again – Toronto, Ontario. I hope the weather is nice there next week. Other than my trip in January I have not been there to visit. I hope to get out and about next week in the evenings. If any of you have suggestions send them along.

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY

Wow, I really wish we would just make this a national holiday. I certainly could have used an extra day on my weekend.

Let’s hope when someone wakes up the groundhog today he let’s us have the early spring this year. I’m ready for winter to be over. Even better yet maybe someone should put an umbrella over Punxsutawney Phil’s door today.

Not much of a post today since I’m in route to Vancouver, WA today.
