I can tell spring has officially come when I see the buds of my favorite pink trees. Sorry, that's about as specific as I can be in terms of the kind of tree. All I know is, they bloom in early March and last just a few weeks or so before darkening and today, I saw the first buds. They must have come out over night.
But its not just the flowers blooming that I love about spring. Something about the combination of warmer weather, longer days and the prospect of shedding my gray and black wardrobe in favor of brighter hues.
This year I'm particularly excited about spring because Derek and I will soon be winging our way to even warmer weather, ala Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! I'll be sure to post some great photos when I get back.
I wanted to take a picture of these myself today, but time got away from me. Here's a Google image to give you an idea.

Hey lisa! It is so good to see you've given in to the blogging world. Emma just told me about your site, i hope you don't mind. I know what you mean about spring. I love the spring here in Missoula more than anything. unfortunately, it happens closer to june. I miss that about St. George. I'm am so excited for you and Derek and your exciting baby news! That is so great! I can't wait to see little baby Larson! Eric and I have work on that aspect of our lives for 3 years with no such luck.....until recently! We are expecting as well........TWINS!!! What am I going to do with twins!? we are excited and very nervous. it is still very early, so i have yet to share with the blogging world and facebook, but its nice to tell a few people. We are due mid October but because of the twins and diabetes, my doc will be inducing me in September!
