It's Definitely Spring Here!

 
 
My Father passed away 11 years ago and my Sunday School class bought me a White Dogwood tree and had it planted in my back yard in memory of my Dad.
 
I am constantly amazed (and don't know why) but every year it blooms on Easter.  It doesn't matter if Easter is in March or April, it always blooms on Easter weekend.  God's timing is so perfect!!
 
 
 
The Redbud Trees are just gorgeous.  FYI - the Redbud Tree is Oklahoma's state tree.
 
 
A few Easter photos - when I say the Easter bunny came - I don't mean just one.
 
 
My back yard is just full of them.  Bella just sits in the back yard and watches.  Doesn't even chase them anymore.
 
 
Look at those white fluffy tails.
 
 
This is the only half way decent photo I got of the girls opening their Easter baskets.  It is just a whirlwind of activity.
 
 
After the twins went to bed, Laynee and I dyed Easter eggs.  They came out pretty good.  You should see our hands - still - almost a week later.  I have several blue and green fingers. 
 
 
 
Not green thumbs mind you.  But, my tomato plants are doing quite well.  Can anyone tell me why they have those little dried tips on them?
 
Enjoy!
 
Judy

  5. Thank you for sharing the miracle of your dogwood tree. I think the Easter food coloring gets harder to get off each year.

    1. We fixed the dye and then tried a couple of eggs and decided it wasn't dark enough. So, we added liquid packets we had in another egg dying set. They came out really pretty colors but oh my gosh, we can't get them off of our hands. We'll know better next year!

  7. I'm sure the girls love the bunnies. I looked this up about your tomato plant. There is a whole host of reasons why it happens. Tomatoes are just difficult to grow for some reason and end up with all kinds of maladies.

  8. Beautiful dogwood blossoms. This must be a banner year for redbuds as they seem to be more vivid than other years.

  9. Thanks for sharing the beautiful dogwood and redbud blooms. Definitely a sign Spring is here.
    I am sure Laynee loved dying the eggs. Sorry - I am of no help on the tomatoes plants.
    No bunnies here, but do have an over load of squirrels that need to pack up and move on. :/
    Enjoy the weekend.

  11. Oh your dogwood is beautiful. I've tried several times to grow a dogwood in Oklahoma City but not with any luck. I've enjoyed all the redbuds for the past several weeks. Looks like your grandkids had fun on Easter! Hope your tomatoes do well. Nothing taste as good as a homegrown tomato!

  17. Your redbud is gorgeous! And the girls look so cute with their Easter baskets. Some years my tomato plants do well and others they don't. I don't know why that is because I don't do anything differently. Sometimes I wonder if the plants were all that healthy in the beginning. Most generally, tho, I've always thought that brown tips were caused from them not getting enough water. Enjoy your weekend!

  18. Love the bunnies and the gorgeous trees. We used to have a redbud in our front yard, but it got wilt and died very suddenly.

  19. Hi Judy, beautiful spring blooms in your yard and I love the story of the dogwood and the redbud is stunning. Your little ones are too cute. Sweet bunnies in your yard too. Not sure what that is on the tomato plants but it may be they are dry. Have a wonderful weekend.
    Hugs, CM

  21. It sure is pretty in your neck of the woods. Things are getting green and we will get there soon. Cute little girls. They don't hold still long enough for a still picture.
