It has been exciting to witness the first signs of spring burst into bloom: the fresh green grass in front of the houses, the trees putting out their new leaves one by one, the flowers slowly appearing in the bushes and planters, timidly poking their tender buds into the world before bursting forth and proclaiming the beauty of God.
This particular flower is from our azalea tree. I remember the first time my family saw these blossoms - we thought one of Ethan's tissues had blown into the leaves. When we took a closer look, however, we realized that it was quite the opposite. Ever since, these flowers have been called either the 'flowers on the azalea tree' or 'Ethan's tissues'!
(A) Probably the most thrilling additions to our property is this little bud. This comes from our dwarf pear tree which has never bloomed since we bought it. We were about to tear it up when we saw it almost covered in buds like this. I hope they actually bloom.
Beautiful picture! Hope you'll get some fruits this year.
