I recently pointed out several signs of Spring that I had noticed in my yard, area, and State.
Tonight I will add to the list. I have noticed a few more. Here we geaux:
1: New leaves coming in on the Red Tipped Photinia. This was very noticeable because this shrub is green, but new leaves come in as red and stand out.
2: New leaves sprouting on the Elderberry bushes in my yard. This bush just has bare branches and now has green leaves sprouting.
3. Pollen all over my car. This usually doesn't happen until later in March or the month of April. This is pollen from the oak trees all around our house. It really makes a mess on your car. At least the rain today washed it all off or most of it.

That's so pretty. Are you down south?
My Mexican Elder is an evergreen bush/tree/vine and usually it's kinda lame looking this time of year but it's already got the first signs of blossoms beginning. Odd. The elms have the bladk beady things that sprouts just before the seeds develop and even the Chinaberry trees have those fuzzy green tips on their branch ends. It's a little early for them to do that but hopefully there won't be anymore freezes overnight.

I just hope all the blossoms don't get frozen later this month.
