Ugly Road Beautiful Trees

One of my favorite things about spring is the newly flowering trees and bushes. It's so nice to see after a long, dreary winter of grey skies and leafless trees. One place I especially love is this road by my house:



This is about a mile stretch of road that is lined with beautiful flowering crab apple trees.



Its such a pretty sight. Of course, the road is ugly and in sorry state, but the trees sure look pretty!

This is my clematis that I planted last year. Two weeks ago it was just a few inches above the ground, now it's about 15 inches tall! It grows a inch a day I think! It's going to be HUGE this year and I can't wait for it to start flowering.




Ahh..Spring. Gotta love it!

    I love those trees! I don't mind the road either. They have character that way! My clematis has already bloomed. So early this year.

    I love this time of year when the spring bulbs and trees are blooming--so pretty and smell great.

    I also have a lot of our State Flower--the beautiful, yellow Dandelion.

    Many of our roads are ugly too, but your skies are lovely indeed. I enjoyed all the signs of spring you shared ;--)
    Hugs and blessings,
