I believe spring has finally sprung here on the mountain. The weather is starting to warm up but the nights are still fairly cold. Occasionally we have a near freezing night. But for the most part it's looking good.
One of our first signs of spring is the Dandylion (Dandelion) that crops up throughout the yard and that most people despise. But the honey bees really like them.
Next is the Flowering Dogwood, which is just getting started but should be in full bloom in another week or so.
Then there's my Asparagus. It's just breaking ground and, as I now see, a little out of focus. Cathy loves getting them fresh out of that garden and I must admit I truly enjoy eating them.
My Flox is popping out in and covering the small hill at the head of the driveway.
And last but not least, the Toms are on the hill gobbling and strutting around. This morning tho, they're alone. None of the Hens are apparently interested this early in the morning. All in all, it's a lovely spring day here in the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. Hopefully it will continue to warm and I can get the boat out of the water for service for the summer leisure time.
