It was a beautiful day for yard work today. I tore up the dead plants I had in the flower bed from last season and replaced them with knock out roses in double red, peach and coral. Planted a new tequila yellow hardy hibiscus also as well as significantly trimming up one of our camellias. The roses should be tripled in size in a few months with plenty of flowers. A few more small plants need potting tomorrow and I’d like to give the Jetta a wash while I’m outside. I see a lot more of the outdoors this time of year.

Love the spring here, although the older I get, the more the pollen hammers me. Noticed it today on the truck window for the first time, soon we'll be in the middle of yellow death.
 
No winter this year. Maybe 5 days of rain since November, 1 morning of frost on the cars & grass after a cold day of rain. Summer can be warm but I don't think we had any days over 100° F last year. Usually a nice breeze too

Ah, yes, spring. I love the change of seasons we enjoy in mid-Michigan: the wafting of wood smoke and maple sap fumes in the air.......mmmmmmm. Sandhill cranes arriving. Hens starting to lay eggs with the longer days. Blessed are we in these challenging days.

My favorite, the emergence of the peepers - happened just last week:

Spring in Iowa alternates between snowing and 75 and sunny.



I am just hoping we actually get to enjoy some spring this year. Last several have been from one extreme to the other.

California: warm and sunny. To reiterate: California has “no winter”. Unless you are in Northern California like Lake Tahoe area
 
Looks nice!

As for seasons, I've had enough of the winter here, though I know summer will go on far to long too. I wish there was more spring and fall. We had a pretty rainy, cold winter by Alabama standards. Not super cold, nothing like what my sister deals with in New Hampshire, but consistently in the 20s-30s which I do not like. Give me 65-70*F all day!
 
I'm ready for the heat but we have to get through pollen season first.

My favorite color is yellow but sheesh!
Pollen season is the worst. We just stared and I’ve had the worst allergies for two weeks. The cars are immediately yellow after a wash also.
 
Was 70F on Friday, sure made sure to get outside. Yesterday I don't think got much over 50 but still got outside all the same. Most of my yard is clear of snow, so big jump forward.

I'm sure I'll regret summer come middle of August, but for now, I'm sure liking the warmer weather.
 
Yes I like landscaping my property and I get a lot of work done at this time of year and the fall, i’m constantly planting trees and cutting other trees down, in another month or two will be seeing 90 to 100° temperatures for a solid 4 to 5 months.
This works out perfect because we love the 5+ months of hot summer, trips to the mountains, boating on our 41 mile long lake, vacations on the SC coast and northern Gulf coast of Florida just love it Part if why we moved south 15 years ago.
