Spring is in bloom, just for the record

 Just the record and the memories, the tulips are in full bloom this week, the first week of April. 


At left, the tulips in front of the mail box were ready to bloom last week.  
So for the record, here in Georgia the camellias bloomed first, by the end of January and lasted over a month, then the daffodils bloomed in March and lasted about a month.  
Now the tulips are in bloom and many of the perennials are popping up out of the ground this week! 

Loving spring in Georgia!  


Camellias bloomed by Feb and daffodils bloomrd in March
