an accounting of spring.

All of a sudden, things are starting to bloom big-time around these parts. Rob kept telling me that spring was really, truly on the way, and I was skeptical. Until now.

On the way in this morning, I spotted:

Star magnolias and those big, blushy purple ones
Rhododendron
Forsythia (ours are going nuts)
Flowering plum
Bradford pear (they smell like feet)

Our flowering crabapples are leafed out and ready to bloom, and the lilacs are about a week from blossom. Lettuce and radish seedlings are up.

Oh, and I took my first Claritin of the season last night.

Ah, spring.
