Best buds

I'm never fully convinced that spring is on its way until I see buds on the trees on our street. Last night I noticed that the first signs of life were really apparent and not just my imagination. By the end of March, they are usually fully in bloom, which is beautiful. (After they bloom they start dropping little berries all over the cars parked under them, which is not so beautiful.)

Granted, the poor garbage men were out in hats and gloves this morning, but this is a sign that spring is coming, folks!
