Doodle Town by Melissa Lomax for April 27, 2022

Read all a"sprout" it.

And pollen, and dust, and birds, and planes, and clouds, and baseballs, and large obese guys in speedos…

Gesundheit!

Dang! I was trying to reply to my own post and ended up deleting it instead. OOPS!

Is that a cherry blossom? We used to have 3 cherry trees. I remember that they were pink, but I don’t remember their exact petal configuration.

We’re under a frost advisory for tonight. Fortunately my pear tree hasn’t blossomed yet, and my magnolia and red bud blossoms have survived the last two frost/freeze warnings.

Same in upper Illinois. The “tulip” trees have bloomed, the crabapples are heavy with future blossoms & the trees are poppin. And we had potential hard freeze warnings & have one more night to go, before we might juuust see the end of 32° & below. Tulips, Daffy-Down-Dillies & Hyacinths are doing just fine & the Forsyrhia haven’t a care in the world; frost, freeze, what iz these words???

It has been a looooong winter. We are still expecting some nights below freezing, but there are a few very welcome signs of Spring. Love this flower!

Lovely! Trees in bloom are masses of small miracles. Such a delight to behold.

Sure is!

Jump for Joy!!
