Our neighbor’s Saucer Magnolia and Common Quince trees are in full bloom. This afternoon, I walked over there and captured a few photos of his trees. This time of the year, they are so beautiful. And in Summer, their leaves bring a lot of shade.

A Beautiful Spring Morning In April (1)

The weather was beautiful, today. We had a lot of sunshine with temperatures of 72℉/22℃. It is supposed to be nice and warm until Wednesday. On Thursday we get more rain and the temperatures will be in the 50s, again. I hope it will stay above freezing since Spring blooms are in the yard.

Spring Rain In New England (1)
🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺
Throughout the night we had strong wind gusts and rain. At one point, it was thundering. When the wind blows that strong, I have a hard time sleeping and spend time listening to music and documentaries on YouTube. That keeps me occupied. Rolling from one side to the other makes me fuzzy, gives me a headache, and I feel groggy all day.
Later in the morning, I went outside to see if we had any damage. Some branches and twigs projected into the ground. They were about two inches deep in the soil. I always avoid the front yard and the forest when we get high winds. You never know when a big branch breaks off and hits you right on the noggin. Last year, we got the trees trimmed. But there are always a couple of branches that can’t sustain a good wind storm.
In the last couple of days, some trees and shrubs began to bloom in our yard. I noticed, my neighbor’s saucer magnolia is in bloom, too. So, I snuck into his yard to capture photos of his beautiful tree. He doesn’t mind, when I walk over there. I mind my own business and only leave footprints in his yard.

A Warm Spring Afternoon In March (1)
🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺
Ah, Spring! The last few days you knocked on our doors and showed yourself from your prettiest side, again. Especially today was a beautiful day, here in Connecticut. In Litchfield County, we had temperatures in the 70s. The early Spring flowers are the harbingers of Spring. Ground bees, ladybugs, and moths could be seen on our hill. The birds chirp louder to find mates. The squirrels are all nutty. And the chipmunks are done hibernating.
But it wouldn’t be a real March in New England if the temperatures were warm from here on out. Next week, we expect days in the low 40s and nights below freezing. We just getting teased with Spring, before Winter comes back again.

Spring’s Coming To New England ~ 2022
Before it began to rain, I walked down the hill on our property to look for some plants. Since the last couple of days were warm, I was hoping for something to be sprouting out of the leaf-covered soil. And sure enough, I found snowdrops right below our shed. How exciting it was to see Spring arriving in our yard. I haven’t seen snowdrops since I left Germany, almost a couple of decades ago. The sight lifted my spirit, although we might get some snow on Wednesday, again.

The First Day of Meteorological Spring In Litchfield County, Connecticut 2024
🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🌷🌺
Aaahh! The first day of March was a beautiful day. Cool, but with the right clothes being in the sun it was comfortable to sit in the garden for a while. When I let our dogs outside, I noticed a Red-tailed Hawk couple visiting the nest on the tree in our forest. They both were fixing some twigs and brought softer material to the nest. Soon, we will have a hawk nursery. How exciting?!
Later, I walked down to the rim of our forest. However, it didn’t take long until Chewbacca came following me and meowing as he wanted to tell me, that it is not that safe down here at the moment. Well, he’s right. Bruno and his bear cousins will be out of their den and roaming the woods for food soon, again. And they will be hungry. Therefore, my neighbor puts out only a small portion of seeds for the birds. By sundown, the seeds are usually all eaten up. And there is no big concern that Bruno visits the neighborhood. He usually stays in the woods.
The Snowdrops are in bloom, and some of the trees show some flower buds. It will take another four to six weeks until the edge of the Winter is gone in Litchfield County. But, once Spring has arrived, and won’t go anywhere else until Summer will knock on the door. Spring, you can’t come soon enough. I want to start my vegetable garden, soon.

Our First Hyacinth of 2024
When the Winter days are still dark and grey, it is nice to have some greenery in the home. The other day, I purchased a couple of hyacinths. And now, one flower begins to bloom.
