Happens every year

I'll never learn, but that's okay.  Every year it warms up for a week or two in early to mid-March.  The redbuds start getting red buds, threatening to burst forth and enrich the countryside with their velvety lavender blooms.  The garden bulbs - daffodils and narcissus, tulips and crocus are blooming.  The fruit trees are already covered in white blossoms and some are already transitioning to lush green foliage.  The elm trees are lending a pale green hue to the scene as they are giving birth to the seeds that will soon be coating our lawns and flowerbeds and ponds and porches and floors and....

I love it! The landscape is rich with the promise of springtime!  I so enjoy the warmth, going outside without a jacket.  The decrease in cedar pollen!!!  Spring is here!!!!!!!!!!!

Then we have another cool front and reality hits:  The key word is "promise."  Spring is almost here.  Oh well.  It isn't near as cold as it has been, and there are more warm days ahead than cold days.  It's Oklahoma.  It won't really green up around here until mid-April.  But that's okay, too.  It won't be long!

Hey, and now's the time to plan those outdoor spring portraits.  Call me and let's chat about updating your home decor with a beautiful, emotional family portrait!
