In the last few weeks, I’ve enjoyed the beauty of spring. First, the little white lily of the valley flowers appeared. Next came the cheery daffodils and the small blue Siberian squills. Bushes and trees join in, bringing yellow forsythias, pink magnolias, white flowering pears, and purply pink redbuds. Green leaves grace many bushes while helicopter seeds hang from maple trees. I love the variety of different blossoms and this year I took extra notice of all the different types of daffodils.
