I love Springtime in Atlanta.
March is definitely unpredictable (after all, it was snowing here just a few days ago) but when Spring lifts her lovely head, like today, well... there's simply nothing better.
72 degrees out right now, blue-blue sky, light soft breeze, with daffodils, tulips and hyacinths all smiling up at the sun. Maybe it's just my imagination, but it seems the birds all are chirping just a bit more cheerfully today. My dog Ruby even has a big grin on her face (and yes, she DOES grin... for photographic proof see the blog entitled "Ruby's Words of Wisdom"). Gone is her surly "why-is-it-so-cold-out" arthritic scowl.
I drove into town to have lunch with an old friend today and along the way I marveled at all the lovely blooming trees - bradford pears, tulip trees, etc., etc. Soon the dogwoods will come out, and then the kwanza cherry trees (my very favorite - see photo - so pretty).
I love Spring. Fresh new life; warm breezes; more daylight. To me, Spring speaks of renewed (or perhaps just "reminded") promises from God, the great Creator-Artist.

your description is JUST beautiful. I can see it all if I close my eyes....
It has been warm here...too warm. This evening Lindsay and I were out running Cocoa and I felt a nice breeze...cool air....I even said out loud "the air feels nice...we should enjoy this" (to deaf ears) But a little bit later, in the house, the a/c kicked on...still to warm in the house. :(
