Signs of Spring

I am only wishing...these photographs were all taken Spring 2009, late March and early April. So I have to wait alittle longer to see these signs here.
It does give us something to look forward too. I am so tired of the cold.
I hope everybody is doing well.

Colors of Spring 2009

The colors of spring through my camera lens this spring.

Grape Hyacinth
Tulips and old fashioned white daffodils
Both of these photographs were taken at Max and Mary Frye's house in Dandridge. We were there this past Saturday to get fruit trees Max started for us last year. While we were there they also gave us a large clump of the these white daffodils. His aunt planted these at the old home place over 75 years ago.
Dandelion (Rockwood)
Flowering Crab Apple (Rockwood)
Peach Fruit Tree
Apricot Fruit Tree
Apple Fruit Tree
Not sure about this one. We first planted a Japanese Maple in this location, right before the late freeze (21 degrees) in April 2007. The Japanese Maple still had not come back to life in the fall of 2008 so we replaced it with this tree. I can't find my tag for it, so I don't know the name of it.

Unless otherwise noted these photographs were taken in my yard in New Market. We are expecting another April hard freeze tonight so I hope we still have some spring colors when we get up Tuesday morning. If we get some snow it would help. We are suppose to, but since we all want it in hopes of helping to save all the blooms we probably won't. The dogwoods are just beginning to open up, and it sure would be nice to have dogwoods in bloom for Easter. I would like to be eating apricots and peaches from my own trees this summer too.
