Blooms in February


One thing I love about California is the fact that the weather is so nice in the winter and spring seems to come earlier here than in the artic of the Midwest.
Here is tree that is right outside our kitchen window. The blooms showed up around Valentine's Day and have been showering our backyard with a coat of white blossoms ever since. When it has been around 10 degrees in Minnesota, I just look at my flowering tree, breathe in the sweet blossoms and count my blessings I can put my winter coat away for now.
