These trees down the road from my house put on quite the show each year.
Bradford Pears are amongst the first of the bloomers when it comes to spring, and it looks like they have been doing their happy dance the whole time I was away in Texas!
The leaves are starting to push the blossoms off the trees, and they are getting their halo of new green.
Of course blooming trees are MOST magnificent against a blue blue sky and yesterday was overcast – I shot this photo out the car window on my way to the post office.
After dropping off the book orders, I made a beeline (did you notice that bees do NOT go in a straight line? They take a wandering circuitous route?) toward Raleigh.
My baby brother Mike was flying in to town, the first of my siblings to come this far east with an opportunity for a visit. He’s here for work.
His flight got in just before 5, and knowing this, I thought I could get to where he was staying, just under two hours from home, before traffic got really bad at rush hour.
Only……I had to make a stop. Antique Mall Adventure!
