CHANGE

Change really takes place when you're away from the house for 2 1/2 weeks...especially during spring when everything is coming alive.  We left with only buds and flowering trees, but came back to trees with leaves and budding/blooming flowers.  Thankfully we were still able to see our flowering dogwood trees.  I wish the 2 1/2 weeks could have been captured on time elapsed photography!
Everyday is a surprise in my garden.  I never know what will be popping through the soil or blooming.  I still have not learned all the names of the many flowers that are now showing they're spring beauty.  A great learning process.  Iris' are not only beautiful they are very fragrant.
