Trees in bloom

I believe the trees bloomed overnight. I had noticed sweet little buds on my trees one day and, I swear, the next day all the trees were in bloom.

When you looked down my street it looked like it had snowed, touching only the trees.

This is a photo of the blooms on one of my trees. (I am practicing with my camera trying to get good close-up photos.)

Snow

We actually got the snow, 6 inches of it, and it was beautiful. I got many visitors to the back deck. I felt guilty that I had not filled the feeders the night before, so I went out to fill up them.

There were so many birds and not enough room at the feeders, I put out a cookie sheet with more seed.

Even a squirrel showed up.

Then I finally went outside, walked around the house and cleaned off the car to go to the store. I know crazy, but I wanted to go.

Here is the view of the neighborhood with much ice on the road, should have been a sign to stay home, but I still ventured out.
