Signs of Spring

A quick scavenger hunt around our house proves Spring is in the air! WooHoo!!!!

The birds have found and LOVE the new bird feeder we installed outside of Mira's bedroom window. We love watching the birds. Mira knows to be kind of quite and still when they come for a visit - she sometimes puts her finger to her mouth and says, "Shhhhh." Since this photo, I've added a hummingbird feeder, and we will put a window box full of plants that attract butterflies out soon! The seeds are already planted!

 The plum tree that we planted last year is blooming!! It's covered in these tiny, delicate, white blossoms! Lovely to see out our kitchen window!

Our lizard friend (or one of his/her heirs) is back! We usually find one lounging/sunbathing in our sago palm each morning during the spring/summer.

Our first rose bloom! It smells SO sweet!! Tons more buds about to pop open!

One lone berry on this "holly tree," as I call it.

Unfortunately, I have no clue what the name of this shrub is - but it's about to be covered in tiny white flowers!!

The Loropetalum in our front yard is in full bloom!

The tulips that Mira and I planted have really taken off (we subsequently planted some of the left-over bulbs in another pot), and a couple of buds have appeared!! So excited to see these bloom!

Yay for Spring!!
