Like Rick Sincere, I fell behind on reading blogs while enjoying my Spring Break. I did browse through BlogNetNews on a couple of occasions, though, and I could’ve sworn I was looking at Gurney’s seed catalog!

I’ve never seen so many daffodils and cherry blossoms in my life! Call this news? My big fat granny. It’s just a silly waste of space by bloggers with nothing to blog about.

But then I came home and . . .

Have you ever seen such beautiful Bradford Pear trees? I didn’t think so! Ha!

Now (and this part is newsworthy) if you know much about Bradford Pear trees, you know that while being breathtakingly beautiful when in bloom, they are also fragile and often succumb to ice storms and high wind. Because of this, seldom will you see one that reaches the height and age of this beauty:

To give you an idea of how tall this tree is, that’s a Southern One-Pounder (works like a charm keeping golfers and Yankees out of my backyard) which stands about three feet high.

Ahh. Spring is here and there’s no prettier place to enjoy it than right here in the commonwealth. Now go get the lawnmower ready . . .
