White silky petals float aimlessy to curbs and driveways like a fine dusting of snow...the Bradford pears are shedding their lovely lacey flowers; green leaves tentatively unfurl. It is snowing flowers in Overland Park!!
Spring has sprung ...the wonderful ornamental shrubs and trees are putting on a show! Gray rainy days provide a backdrop for brilliant yellow forsythia, soothing purple redbuds, lush pink flowering crabs, and graceful whitebud blossoms. My lone columbine has emerged....I will have to fence it with chicken wire to keep bunnies away...they do seem to love this plant. My jonquils are fading but the tulips are stepping up to take their place. Daily the thin reedy iris shoot up another inch....flower stems will follow....I can hardly wait to see these colorful flags.
Ah....joyous spring....renewal!! Enjoy!

As usual, I love your descriptions of the beauty mother nature brings each spring. I look forward to watching the thin reedy iris transform into an elegant flower. The bradford pears are spectacular this year. All of this beauty has been washed by a steady three day rain. The world looks brand new. Thanks for your post.
