Dogwoods are in Bloom!!

Our friends from CA missed seeing the Dogwoods by about a week. What a shame. I've taken some photos of the tree outside our bedroom window over the span of a couple weeks. All 5 of our trees are white but there are pick ones around town too. Here are some photos.









Lots of our neighbors have them too. The drive up Greenleaf is so very pretty right now.

The Redbuds started blooming about the same time. Here's a good specimen I found a short distance from our house.





While these trees were blooming we were having daytime temperatures in the mid-80's. Those temperatures lasted about two weeks. Then, a few days ago it turned cold. Last night about 8:00, while Larry and I were cleaning up from the work on the retaining wall (that's another story) it started snowing!! It only lasted about 15 minutes but what a change. The plants got a shock with lows in the high 20's last night.

Spring has definitely sprung in Chattanooga.
