in bloom...

The blooms have arrived in all their loveliness! I believe that this year more than ever I appreciate the them. They are like ice cream on a hot day...exactly what you need after a freezing winter.

this tree is such a gorgeous sight right now...and the blanket of petals below... yum!

It produces the most beautiful blooms!



It is amazing to me that these delicate blooms are produced wildly each year...there is no pulling up of the bulbs and replanting {as in Texas} ...they come back on their own. They lay low under the snow and survive the cold winter until spring comes and they push up through the cold ground and bloom...even more beautiful than last years blooms...because this year they are stronger. It is amazing that May 2008 is next week and hubby and I's spring has arrived! We {yes, I say "we"...it was a joint sacrifice...I just don't get a diploma!} have survived medical school and are moving on...up and out to bloom where God plants us.

Wow, are these all in your yard? Gorgeous. Unbelievable. Congrats on graduation. It was a bumpy ride at times, I'm sure. You'll probably remember these years vividly--and eventually even cherish them!

What is that tree? I LOVE it there's one in my neighborhood, but no one seems to know the name, I call it the mystery floral. The shots are beautiful!!!
