Finally Spring...
Finally Spring....
I guess Spring is my favorite season of the year but this year it was a long time coming here in North Texas. Usually we are getting signs as early as February but this year too many cloudy, cold and rainy days until this week when the weather started to actually look and feel like Spring.
We have only a few blossom trees in our yard but they are large and so make a great show especially against the blue sky.It just cheers you up to look at them.
The Bradford pear trees , an ornamental pear, grow easily and fast and tend to spread from suckers sent out by the root system so in some areas where there is adequate rain and sun spread too easily and are banned . Fortunately that is not the case here. I would certainly miss them.Such a pity as they really cheer up the yard not only in Spring but in Fall when they turn a beautiful red.
They do sometimes in the Spring give off a strange smell that isn't very pleasant but it attracts lots of small bee like creatures so you know that's a sure sign other plants will soon be out in flower.
