Almost all the snow has melted, although we had flurries Monday and Tuesday.
Sap is running in the trees. It is leaking from the Norway Maple in our front yard, staining the passenger side of our car. The tops of trees glow red.
A magnolia in downtown Binghamton waits patiently for the age old signal only plants can hear.
"Awaken. It is time to bloom."
But not just yet.
(A final note: my heart goes out to the people in the Heartland being affected by extensive flooding, having been through a flood myself. I lived in that area briefly and used to have family in Iowa. )

There are definitely signs of spring all over! One day last week, I was outside for 15 minutes, and in that time, 3 flocks of geese flew over. I drove on Saturday up to Oneonta and noticed much red at the tops of the trees. There's been a different quality to the light since late February. And finally, MOST of the snow has left my yard! Happy Spring to you, Alana!
ReplyDeleteShort and very sweet. Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteyes, things are definitely getting ready to bloom...
ReplyDeleteWell, Spring may have sprung, but the Cherry Blossoms are waiting until Pesach to bring forth their colors!
ReplyDeleteOooh, you should tap that tree and make your own syrup. Although, I'm sure the procedure is probably a bit more extensive than that.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
ReplyDeleteThose sweet buds are definitely a sign of spring - Happy 1st Day of Spring!
ReplyDeleteSpring has certainly sprung in our area, but nature has its own rhythm. Spring is sometimes slow to make an entrance, but whoa she explodes!
ReplyDeleteDear Alana,
ReplyDeleteBy now Spring would have arrived with unbridled fervour at your door.
Love those words. All of them. And the picture is hopeful too.
Sending prayers for the families and being affected by the flood.
Love and Light!
