Spring Is In The Air

Spring is springing into action. The days are warmer, the birds are singing, thunderstorms are rolling in and the flowers are beginning to bloom. My yard is looking horrible, though, since we didn't get much rain last year and most of it is dead and the weeds have taken over. I'm going to have to do some heavy seeding to get it looking half-way decent this year. But the Bradford Pear trees in my front yard are blooming. They look like huge white cotton balls right now. They stink too, but they're still pretty and a sure sign that spring is nearly here.

This is one of the Bradford Pear trees in my front yard with it's white blossoms.
