Hooray for Spring!

After living in Rhode Island for eight years - come June 1 - I have come to the conclusion that Spring is the most beautiful season of the year hear in New England.  I know they tout the Autumnal colors up here but that is iffy. The Spring colors are not.  The weather may be awful and it may rain and the wind may blow you off your feet, but sitting at a window in a car or in a building - the pictures above are the sights you see everywhere you look!  I am not kidding.  Outside of our Relief Society room window is a beautiful tree that blossoms in pink, if we can open the curtains - which is possible on overcast days.  Outside of our apartment is the  bottom picture - in one bed - there many others.  The white 'umbrella tree' is from the Boston Temple as is the bed with the white border.  The forsythia are from either side of our church building but that should be the state flower of Rhode Island.  They are everywhere!  If there was a color that signified that Spring was here it would be yellow because the forsythia are in bloom!  After a cold hard winter - even if the temperatures haven't made it into the 50's for very many days - it makes you feel warmer just knowing the flowers and trees are blooming.  Summer can't be far behind.  Being a Texas girl - I can take the heat!
