Plants awakening one by one:
Some in a straight line just for fun:
Buds burst forth:
continued growth:
To turn into an awesome blossom:
Fruit Cocktail flowers are pretty in pink:
The tulip center looks like ink:
The goldfish are hungry you can tell…
the water will soon be clear as a bell:
Spring always marks the return of the frog:
And wet footprints of muddy dogs:
One final sight that you can see
A bubble grill waiting patiently…
Hoping for the spring rain to pass
and feel the warmth of the glowing sun
to provide PN more endless fun:

It must be exciting to see all these signs of spring especially after the long winter. Over here, fortunately and unfortunately at the same time for some because we have spring all year round.

Thank you for all those beautiful pictures – I love the words of the poem and how you tied it all together too.
Spring is finally here with us too – and the sun is shining. My rose bushes are blooming like crazy and when I brushed by them yesterday the scent of the petals was heavenly.

Lovely photographs. I really do enjoy Spring in Florida — all the wildflowers on the sides of our roads, the smells of jasmine and orange blossoms. Divine.
Happy WW!
Yeah! Stacy Uncorked is winning!!!!!
Love your pics. The dogs look great 🙂

Stace! Those pictures make me so happy! Spring is being so shy this year. The trees and flowers are so confused, it’ll be so nice one day so they’ll come out and bloom but then the next day it snows and they go hide again. Just make up your mind Spring!
I love Stacy Uncorked and Stacy’s Fermentations!

Oh, your blossoms are gorgeous! Here in Bakersfield, we can’t quite decide what we want to do with Springing into Summer. Normally our spring is short, like ten days of bliss. This year we have had much more rain and cold and the Summer trying (unsuccessfully!) to push its way in. It is SO weird!!
THANK YOU! for posting your views of Spring Blossoming….

Pretty pictures. LOVE that kiddie-BBQ set! I think we need one! Oh, and good luck renaming your blog. I didn’t vote because I always prefer the first name people use, it just “goes” with them to me. 🙂
.-= Andrea would like you to read ..Manic Monday =-.
Great poem! I’m a sucker for the rhyming ones. Only sign of spring I see these days is rain. So over it. These kids are aching to get outside and rub some sunshine on their faces. But, there’s none to find. We actually had a frost advisory last night! I miss California:(

Spring is wack-a-doo here, it was 34 degrees this morning. But there was a bird nest in my tree in the front yard, that’s a good sign.

Your pictures are just beautiful and your poem was great!

Spring? We’re full into summer down here. I can tell by the bright red tinge on my kid’s cheeks and the sweat on the backs of their pudgy little necks.
Hope PN has some bubbly fun! I got a package from you yesterday, what a nice treat! I’m making Jamie setup a PC for the kids to play with so they don’t take over mine….
Thanks again…
What a cute little froggy!! Love all the springy pictures!

That bubble grill looks really cute. Love the fish pond and frog. We had a frog in our yard last night! I love your pictures, they are beautiful. What is it with dogs and muddy paws, it never ends.

Great post! I love the rhymes. 🙂
So far, the only sign of spring is weeds. And some rain and sleet. Nothing nearly as pretty as yours, and I doubt we rhyme.
Love the pictures!

What beautiful pics! Spring has definitely sprung. And in rhyme even! At our house spring always means the swallows come back and nest on our deck. We had some beautiful blossoms on the trees around us but it’s been really windy and they were all blown away.
Have a great day!
