it happened overnight
While I've been busy inside making spring bags, spring had been springing right outside my door. I was surprised to see so many new blossoms around the yard.
redbud tree:
peach tree:
dianthus, which grew like a weed over the winter:
daisies, another survivor from last year:
petunias in my windowbox (just planted those):
Ahh, I really do love this time of year!
It's nice to see spring is coming! It's not quite here yet, I'm in IL, were expecting a bit of snow on Friday, ick! Your pictures give me hope though!

I'll stay inside until our outside looks like your outside. It'll be awhile, the snowbanks are taller than me. At least lots of crafting will get done!

Its not quite here in Arkansas yet, but I'll enjoy it from your blog for sure.

I am so jealous! It looks beautiful there! I can't wait for that...we still have snow on the ground in Iowa. :(

Those peach blossoms are so beautiful they almost don't look real. I think I'll run out and get some petunias today now. Thanks for the inpiration!

You clearly do not live anywhere near here. Petunias in March? Wow! I'm jealous.

Where in the heck do you live.....am so envious of you. I love the spring also. And to see the redbuds and peach and such...my tulips are up about an inch....hurry spring.....You seem like a beautiful person on the inside and out.....

You are sooo lucky! Beautiful flowers!!! It's still cold and snowy here.

The snowbanks went from 8 feet to 4 over these days of semi-warm sunshine this week. I will have to envy and enjoy your blooming spring until we get our own! Oh Massachusetts, you are a fun place to live, I swear it.

Posted by: katie | March 11, 2008 at 12:02 PM

I'm so jealous!!!! We still have about 8 inches of snow and lots of ice left over from a storm this weekend. Yuck. Enjoy your blossoms!!!

We aren't quite there yet in virginia! We do have a couple of crocus coming up, and the green from my other bulbs are popping through. Enjoy - I'm jealous!

Posted by: capello | March 11, 2008 at 01:33 PM
Wow, my yard won't look like that for at least a couple months.....but I did notice the tiniest bits of green in the flower beds this morning. It's coming!
Posted by: rohanknitter | March 11, 2008 at 01:40 PM
oh my gosh, that's amazing--where in the world do you live? we still have snow on the ground!
Posted by: Sarah m | March 11, 2008 at 01:57 PM
Seeing your spring is refreshing. Bulbs are just peaking through over in my neck of the woods. It can't get here fast enough!
Posted by: LeeAnn | March 11, 2008 at 02:29 PM
I would normally be completely jealous, but seeing as we are having a day in the mid-sixties today I am going to be so happy for your beautiful flowers ;)
Posted by: Rachel | March 11, 2008 at 03:32 PM
Oh, you are so lucky. I can't wait for spring and we are going to have snow again this weekend.
Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures.

Ooooh! Aaaah! I'll live through you for a few more weeks!
Posted by: denice | March 11, 2008 at 03:36 PM
I'm thoroughly jealous. Spring has yet to hit DC. :(
Posted by: Stephanie | March 11, 2008 at 03:39 PM
I want to live where you do! All we have right now is rain rain rain. Enjoy.

Posted by: ash | March 11, 2008 at 07:02 PM
That's it-I'm moving! It is still as ugly as can be 'round here.
Posted by: Sandi Henderson | March 11, 2008 at 07:13 PM

Posted by: Mellissa - wondermommy | March 11, 2008 at 07:24 PM
how wonderful!!! can you believe we are just happy here to see a bit of grass- how ever dry and brown it is!
Posted by: upstatelisa | March 11, 2008 at 07:53 PM
Oh, it's gorgeous! It's happened here, too, and I'm not minding the horrible sneezing and watery eyes it's brought me - I'll take Spring any way i can get it! Yay!
Posted by: sulu-design | March 11, 2008 at 09:46 PM
I love the beauty of this time of year as well, although I must say, for my allergies sake I am not looking forward to the blooming... I think I may have a few weeks to go, so I must relish in the clear nose and head!
Posted by: kate | March 12, 2008 at 12:15 AM
Spring isn't here yet, but I liked looking at these pictures and thinking, "Oh, yeah! THAT'S what living things look like!"
Posted by: Velma | March 12, 2008 at 07:10 AM
I am so jealous!
It's cold here still, but yesterday was warmer and I started some gardening clean up and saw a lot of new life... but nothing compared to yours! Enjoy it.
Posted by: kat | March 12, 2008 at 08:06 AM
Make a bag and Spring appears! :)
Posted by: Sara | March 12, 2008 at 08:41 AM
Your pictures of your yard don't quite match mine. I think I have grass but I haven't seen it in so long I am not completely sure. :-)
Posted by: Lauren | March 12, 2008 at 09:04 AM
Oh, it all looks so wonderful! We still have snow flurries in the air this morning...
Posted by: julie | March 12, 2008 at 09:35 AM
How beautiful!
Posted by: the lazy reader | March 12, 2008 at 10:35 AM
I can't wait for spring to arrive here! I can finally see a small patch of grass in our yard.
Posted by: Missy | March 12, 2008 at 11:52 AM
Very pretty!
Posted by: AJ | March 12, 2008 at 11:53 AM
So pretty! So inspirational! I haven't seen any flowers budding around here--yet. But it will happen! Soon!
