Pink Trees & Hexie Blossoms!

Every spring I just wait for the trees to bloom.

This year they are not holding back!

While pink dogwoods are my favorite, I'll take any pink blooming tree from cherry to redbud to whatever this gorgeous thing is.

I don't know if you can see it, but if you look closely you will discover that our quilts are plastered against the porch rail due to the wind.

How fast can we do over-the-porch-rail photos?  About 5 minutes before numbness set in.  LOL!
