Signs of Spring

Last week, I was out on a walk with William and I noticed these trees blooming around the corner from our house.  At first, I couldn't believe it because it seemed too early in the season and I worried that they would be damaged by frost or something.  Now that I've been looking for more signs of spring, though, I feel much better because apparently nature knows it's proper course...there are lots of things suddenly budding, sprouting and shooting up from the ground all over the place.  These days weatherman is consistently calling for 50 degrees, and I'm very hopeful that old man winter is on his way out the door!
