Rumor has it that the groundhog saw his shadow and predicted another 6 weeks of winter (don’t get me started on that whole conspiracy theory, since there were 6 weeks of winter left on the calendar anyway).
Mother Nature, no doubt in cahoots with the groundhog, has been particularly bitchy to my friends in the Midwest and Northeast with an overabundance of freezing cold weather and snow.
In spite of the official first day of spring still a little over 3 weeks away, we here in the Pacific Northwest seem to be enjoying a bit of early spring, as evidenced by the balmy weather we’ve been experiencing, which has awakened some of the foliage – especially the cherry blossoms suddenly beginning to burst forth:
If any of my friends still in a deep freeze are needing a change of scenery, feel free to come to where spring is apparently springing in the place known for the bluest skies.
How’s the weather in your neck of the woods?

We are still waiting for winter here.
I think the first few blooms of Spring are just gorgeous. Hope it warms up even more for everyone!
I love the early signs of spring. It´s on my WW too 🙂
The coming of your spring means the end of my summer.
You should be very happy you no longer live in this state …. I’m so over winter.
Even though our plums and citrus are in full bloom, the apricots are just beginning to blossom, our cherries are still not blooming. We were thinking of cutting down the cherry trees since we have never been able to taste even one of our cherries. The birds eat those before they are ever ripe and leave the pits having on the trees.
Because of all the rain that we have been getting this year, we found ten apricot trees that came up from seed. Most likely due to ground squirrel activity. We have three of those planted in the new hill we are building for our water tank, and the rest are all potted until we figure out where to place them. Apricots do good out here. Perhaps they’ll go where the cherry trees are.
Lucky you!! We are expecting yet another snow storm today! It is freezing and icy out!
My WW is up for today: http://tc-twistedfairytale.blogspot.ca/2015/02/wordless-wednesday-precious.html
We have melted from the weekend just in time for round two that rolls in this afternoon.
Lovely shots – thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Happy Wordless Wednesday!
So not fair!!! It just keeps snowing here.
