Spring is in the air

Always the first sign of Spring around here.

beautiful pictures .... thanks for posting them .... unfortunately, around here one of our first signs of spring is a coating of yellowish green pine pollen ..

Love the pics . In my part of Tx we have been in the 70's and 80's for the last 2 months and my rose have been blooming for over 2 months [ old pic ] and over 100 roses have take from this brush so far this year .

Beautiful pics, Dave. Thanks for sharing.

Up here, though, we know better to get in a hurry about spring. A few days, ago, it hit 70, then this, this morning. Ah, April in the north country. Actually, snow in April is something we expect. Nothing unusual.

Nice roses. 2 months? Maybe I'm moving to Texas.

I've had 2 snow falls in since 2010 and this is the worse one and it melt before noon . Its has not been below freezing in the last 2 years . I live in a T-shirt and shorts ............

[daytime dave]

tgr, those would be the yellow rose of Texas, I'm sure. They are beautiful roses. As far as a snowfall, That must be unusual for your part of the country.

Still waiting for flowers, a few, but the grass is not hesitant to grow. Especially in little patches where Petey fertilized it !!

I'll try to get a few shots of the manure pile...stuff seems to grow there first around here.

That's the spirit.

as is the norm, the arrival of Spring in NC is accompanied by a blanket of mostly pine pollen .... normal yes, but it sure seems heavier than usual .... so much so that some of my wife's relatives saw coverage about it on their local news out in South Dakota .... we went through much the same thing just before we left Texas and now get to "enjoy" it for a second time at home .... thankfully, rain that should help clear the air is moving through .... this is the first year that I've found it necessary to take some meds so as to be able to breathe .... I doubt the pollen is any thicker, most likely I'm just getting older

They say you get use to that after while BUT! I never have and I never will I hate snow

[RanchRoper]

Still waiting on spring here. Just took this pic a minute ago. 15F.

Manure piles are a lot warmer than that picture RR I think I would rather see the steam

[RanchRoper]

Might rain tomorrow, or snow again who knows. Either way I am going to the range.

[JEBar]

as aggravating and ugly as our yellow pollen is, I'd sure rather have it than RR's beautiful, white snow

[daytime dave]

The pollen gets everywhere at camp. A sure sign that things will be warm.
