The weeks are rushing by

Spring green popping out on the trees
I keep thinking that I'll go out and take pictures of the beautiful blossoming trees around here, but since I've been waiting for a sunny day, I'm still waiting. Today on the walk with the ladies, it was forecast to be raining. Again. Although I was not happy about it, I decided to go ahead and walk anyway, and I talked Lily into going with me. It sprinkled a little but we didn't get a downpour.

It was a small group, and I was a little dismayed to notice that none of the slower walkers were there, meaning I'd be in the back and struggling to keep up. That's exactly what happened, but I was pleased that I was able to go the full six miles, even if I couldn't keep up the blistering pace of the ladies in front.

I cannot believe how fast the spring is busting out everywhere around here. Everything is either in bloom or greening up. Tomorrow is Palm Sunday and Easter is next week!

  2. We won't be green for another six weeks here, maybe five if we are lucky:) I am glad you went on your walk! :)

  3. Super impressed at your six mile jaunt. And the year is rushing by isn't it? Easter tomorrow and ten minutes later it will be Christmas...

  4. Hopefully after this snow melts, spring will get a move on here too!

  5. Sounds like you need to divide the walkers into two groups. It would be better for all of you.

  6. I love the new spring greens.
    We knew everything would start to pop, seemingly all at once, since it was late in happening this year. It is still not very warm yet, though. Sure would love to have a warm, sunny Easter Sunday.

  7. You are way ahead of us in looking like spring. Central NY is still very brown. We actually had snow yesterday! Thanks for sharing the beautiful pic :-)

  8. Maybe you should start a slower walkers group?
    Looks so green there! :)

  9. Rita may have a point. What a lovely place to walk. If you walk fast, you miss too much. So glad you put in the miles OK. You are getting there.

  10. I've always been a slow walker unless pheasant hunting. Take time to smell the roses is the best pace...:)

  12. You must be a little ahead of us; we're just getting daffodils and forsythia.

  13. It's always a beautiful time of year....when Easter arrives. That means flowers everywhere!!

    No matter how slow you walk/hike...it's the distance that counts.

  14. The days really are speeding by. We've been on our trip to the Big Island and then I've been working on our trip album for mom. Now there's everything else that's been going on with my aunt in the hospital that I can't seem to get myself to focus and time keeps flying by me.
