My trees bloomed today.

Thought I would share a couple pics of my trees that popped their blooms today. Unfortunately, my weeping cherry doesn't last but a few days. And a mug of me.....not the best "self" picture taker. ;)

I just love this time of year when everything comes into bloom.

Your tree is beautiful. Looks likes it's warm there. I just love the signs of spring.

I love spring! Here's one of mine:

Oh how very very pretty Marie and Heather:) Here are some pics of the first roses of the season from my rose garden:

So pretty, I never do good with roses.

Roses are about the only thing I can grow:D

Vintage girl- My heart sank- is that your father- very handsome- such a warm gentle face...

Yes GiGi that is my Dad. He had such a warm and beautiful smile. I really can't remember him ever not smiling. That picture was from September of last year. He looked quite young for his age. I have been running myself ragged to make it through. That is why I have been so busy painting, etc. Busy hands, mean busy minds, therefore don't think about the reality of it so much. At night is when I have a hard time. I have been having a recurring dream where I am in the hospital and following my Dad. But he gets ahead of me and gets in the elevator and it closes before I can get there. I know this dream is just stress, but it is really bothering me. But it is just a dream and my Dad would have said "work around it little girl", and that is what I will do. I am going out to my Mom's this Sunday and spending the day with her. I am really looking forward to that. I wish I could go over more often, but with working full time it is hard, and she lives 60 miles from me. In Southern CA, on a weeknight, that is a 2 hour drive:eek:

Vintage Girl- It must be hard- one day- one hour- one minute at a time. Luckily I still have both my parents, but we lost both my husbands parents- his mother almost thirty years ago, and his father about 15 year ago.

I still think of my husband's mother every day- fond memories- so glad she was in my life for a bit.

Hugs

Everyone's flowers are stunning!
