Southern Stroll

What a lovely time of year it is to take a walk through the neighborhood! The homes are adorned with blooming trees, flowers and shrubs.

I like the bunny flag in front of this house

Here is another one set in a plot of daffodils

Beautiful Forsythia

I love the red colors of this tree in spring before it turns to green

Beautiful weeping cherry

Daffodils in a row

Daffodils around a tree (and a little forsythia back there too)

Daffoldils everywhere! Darlene, this is your house!

Leaves starting to open on the trees

It truly is a beautiful world!
