Flowering Trees - Spring has Sprung

It has been unseasonably warm and the trees have all popped.  I took some photos both at the farm and in Lexington this week.  This really is a pretty time of year.  Joan's sister Karen was up for a visit from Florida and she got to see all the buds.

At the farm, the pear trees are past the peak, the redbuds are approaching peak, and the apples & dogwoods are just starting to flower.

This is a crabapple that is just starting to really blossom. 

In the orchard, the pears are pretty well done, the cherries are blooming (on their last legs), and the apples haven't quite popped yet.  We're supposed to have a freeze on Monday night - I hope it doesn't ruin the fruit crop.

Last week was georgeous in Lexington.  This is what it usually looks like in mid-April.

I just took a walk one evening near my apartment and this is what the streets looked like.
