EASTER SUNDAY RIDE (STROLL)

Happy Easter
Coming home from church today my eyes were filled with the glorious colors
and signs of spring and I was reminded of the words of the song which sings
'And the glory of the Lord shown all around, all around'







'and the glory of the Lord shown all around'
`````````````````````````````````````

For a other strolls head on over to Aisling's.

I love the bright glimpse of forsythia and magnolia! So pretty!

Aisling,
Me, too. It's sunshine and stars close to the ground.

I really need to plant a magnolia here. I haven't yet and don't know why. I think maybe it is because there are so many varieties in the catalogs that I can't choose. They're all beautiful though.

Aisling,
The Tulip trees and just lovely and the shades from pale pink to deep magenta are always blended with some white on the petals and are so striking. I'm not sure which I would pick either.

You have some really beautiful blossom there! Is that yellow forsythia? I thought it was some sort of broom at first, but it isn't broom-shaped!

You hare much further advanced than us - our cherries are only at the swelling bud stage. It seems general across the country that Spring is 3 weeks late. I expect everything will come out, all at once, in a rush!

Oh, what lavish beauty! A real Southern Easter!

Amazingly, only half an hour south of us the magnolia and forsythia are blooming as well. We'll catch up in a day or so!

Gilly,
Year to year the seasons advance at a different pace, we are well behind the blossoming of last year and we are so glad to finally be surrounded by the lush spring colors. Forsythia may be a little different here in the states than your version.
You are right to note spring will happen in a rush, you just can't stop it can you?

Margaret,
Thanks for stopping by. Here on the mountain we tend to see the season twice, once when we go down to the low lands and again in the fullness of time when it arrives here on the Plateau.
