It REALLY IS Spring in Wisconsin !

We know that some people think of Wisconsin somewhere near Alaska and lots of snow....yadda yadda....and we are here to tell you in lovely PURPLE and white...it is NOT the case !Dirticure

   It is suppose to rain this afternoon and our mulch was ready but the landscaper could not be until next week....rain last night made the area around our lampost easy to weed, preen and mulch...the rest of the side and back we will "save" for him.  Here is my dirt-i-cure to prove it...gardeninng gloves are soooo clumsy...or maybe it's not the gloves...

   When we were building our house...we drove there daily and passed red bud treea tree that had pinky/purple flowers....and I knew that had to be part of our landscape plan.  We have two raised beds in the front yard and one has the red bud we LOVE to see flower every spring. 

Here it is with it's delicate flowers...I love them !

    In the back yard we have a tree that has white blossoms..the first good rain and it will only be great green foliage but for the next little bit here itwhite blossom tree is...blossoms already fallen underneath..not to be mistaken for snow ! Taken from our deck which is off the first floor of our ranch...but it is an exposed ranch so appears to be off the second floor.

  And while I have absolutely NO claim to green thumbs...I choose the flowers that please me and cross my thumbs the perrenials return after their sheltered winter under the landscape stone...so far so irisesgood...here are the irises...the daylilies are up but yet blooming.

     Spring HAS sprung...buyers are out and we with them shortly...so time to shed my dirt-i-cure and get ready...Happy Weekend !

      This has been a springy post brought to you by Sally K. & David L. Hanson, Broker Associates with EXP Realty honored to be of service for all things real estate in southeastern Wisconsin.

Your post made me smile, Sally.... that's what Charlotte looked like well over a month ago....if not almost two. Today it's 90 degrees here... and even for Charlotte that's hot for May.

Lovely post, Sally. Is the tree an Eastern Redbud? We enjoyed two lovely, sunny days in Pittsburgh PA on Wednesday and Thursday; came home to San Francisco and RAIN today.

Spring is finally starting to happen across the country believe it or not. Let’s hope some nice weather stays here for a while in the US.

Morning Sally.

Spring is here in full fashion.  Don't know what is in the air but my sinuses are in full flow.  Hopefully, the pollen will be calming down soon

I am so happy that the spring season is really here - the irises are in full bloom, the peonies are open - it is glorious!

We have an unusually warm day in Maryland. It is a good time to plant some flowers.
