Signs of spring....

The yard has started to come alive!  The elderberries are covered in new leaves, and the one that died back has even sent up a few new sprigs. Hooray!

 There's little tiny peaches on the tree as the blooms start to dry....

 The apple trees are sending out leaves.....

 The Brazos blackberry plant has lots and lots of new leaves, and has spread out even further during the winter....

In the front yard, the bearded iris plants are huge.  No blooms yet, but hopefully soon....

 The agarita is covered in little yellow blooms....

 The forsythia has yellow blooms, too!

 I filled up all of the hummingbird feeders, just in case.  Can't wait to see them come buzzing in!

 And John pulled up an old stump that we've had in our front yard forever, dragging it out to the firepit.  Beneath it are the roots for the tree that was next to it.  As I walked by today, it looked like somebodies legs and knees in there! Yikes!  We have to bring in dirt to cover this sight.

Wonder what Sydney is thinking here?  I'm sure she's just wondering if its edible.
