Spring!

Well, I think it is official that Spring has sprung! Dan and I had to actually switch to A/C on Saturday - the house was 84 and that's just too hot.

But the coolest thing about Spring showing up is the flowers. I planted some daffodils this Winter (actually in late Winter so I didn't think they'd bloom since it was several months past when I should have planted them) and now they are popping up - I've got a good 5 or 6 daffodil blooms coming up.

But that's not all! The rosemary is blooming, too! Not the entirety of the two monster bushes, but the front left side of one of them. Still, it is better than last year when only a stalk bloomed a few measly flowers.

And wait - there's more! The Lady Banks Rosebush is starting to put off some blooms. Nothing big enough for me to take pictures of yet, but there are some spots of yellow on that big green mass!

I've saved the best for last, though. Those that have visited our house know that Dan and I have a ton of aloe plants. Sometimes we start to feel a little overrun by them, but that just means we have to meet more people so we can give them away. Hehe. Anyway, one of the big aloes is blooming! I've only seen this happen once before and that is on one of my parents' big aloes years ago. It has just started blooming, so I'm sure more pictures will come as the bloom actually opens.

Neat, huh? Blooming flowers make me so excited! Of course, one bad thing about the arrival of warm weather - I'm going to have to keep my legs shaved so I can stay in shorts! Oh well, I'll take it!
