Lilacs Somewhere

It was cold and windy today....not all that pleasant to be outside. But March is often like that....and I'm gearing up....because April can be like that too sometimes.

I took this a few days ago....the pond was so still and the reflections of the trees were as clear as the real thing.  I will welcome the leaves....but I continue to enjoy the bare trees against the very early spring sky.

You know the saying...it's 5:00 somewhere!  Well....my line today is there are lilacs somewhere!  And that somewhere is Texas.  Elaine shared a few spring photos....and her lilac is starting to bloom! How fun!

And look at this amaryllis she planted last fall. I didn't think about the fact that they could go in the ground. I've only known them to be a inside winter thing!  But apparently they can in the south!  Thanks Elaine for sharing your Texas spring with us!

And it's a wrap!  I loved this one....the beautiful quilts of Gee's Bend.
