New Blooms - the Promise of Spring

We had plans for today to go out to the country and enjoy the early morning. There was a soft shower earlier in the morning, but stopped around 9:00. I took my camera to take photos.
The first photo is of the crabapple blossoms.


Our sassafras tree was popping with blossoms,


So was the pear.
The bluebirds were pairing and making nests in some of our bluebird nest boxes. I found it difficult to get close enough to get a clear photo, but this was the best. A redbud tree, in the background, is beginning to bloom.

One of our daughters came to join my husband and I with her two young sons. We were interested in the bluebirds at the time, and we kept talking about them. Our five year old grandson was trying hard to pay attention to them, also, as I heard him quietly say to himself, "I am trying to see the birds, but I keep getting distracted by all of these beautiful flowers!"
