Blooming Hot in April



Violets don't normally bloom for another three weeks here in New Jersey, but there is a patch in the front lawn. The recent heat wave is rushing some blooms a little early. I feel as if I might be in Kentucky with the temperatures going up and down at random and at will. But it is pretty.
Tulips along the garage

Cherry, magnolia and forsythia at the end of Sandbrook Village.
Sandbrook's own phone booth. Better bring your mobile if you want to make a real call.


On the corner of Sandbrook - Headquarters Road.


Lovely little rock garden along the side of an ice house.

Magnolia

White picket fence with little yellow carpet flower
Hyacinths - one of my favorite spring fragrances - as long as we are all outdoors.

My ride home from Princeton is picturesque these days.


I will be sad when the daffodils "go crunchy" in the heat.


A favorite cherry tree in Princeton.

i love all the blooming! hyacinths are one of my favourites, too. i can't wait for the sun to come out so i can get out and see some of the blooms here... but they are a wee bit slower here than there. ;)
