Spring arrives sooner every year

This Forsythia shrub began blooming at the end of January, although I didn’t take any photos until today. In past years it hasn’t bloomed until early March. Linked to Cee’s Flower of the Day

Crape Myrtle

I have a huge Crape Myrtle tree on my property, but it’s not blooming yet, as it usually blooms in mid-August. However, smaller Crape Myrtle shrubs are in bloom everywhere. This one borders the property in town that my sister and I recently inherited. Linked to Cee’s Flower of the Day
