Spring is in the air!

Today is the first day of spring, but it's been acting like spring for weeks now.  The temperatures are in the 60s and 70s during the day.  I already busted out my flip flops and put away the hats and scarves and gloves!  The best thing about spring is that there are flowers everywhere!  Lexington Park is full of dogwoods and cherry blossoms and they are beautiful!

Two weekends ago we went to D.C. to spend the afternoon with my cousin Jenny who was in town with her choir on their spring break tour.  These trees were breathtaking!

I thought they were cherry trees, but I looked it up later and they seem to be Saucer Magnolias.  Whatever they are, they are gorgeous.

I think Spring is my favorite season.  Fall is just as nice, but you know that the cold winter is coming, which kind of ruins it.  But in Spring you get to put away your heavy coats, you get more daylight in the evening, and everything is beautiful!  Fortunately I don't suffer from allergies or I might be singing a different tune.  Of course, such warm weather so early in the season probably means we'll have a really hot summer, but I don't want to think about that right now.  I'm just going to soak up as much of the beauty as possible and worry about summer later.  :-)  What's your favorite season?
