These beautiful flowering plum trees have been blooming in Kennesaw, Georgia for about a week. I took a picture of them today, because from experience, I know that tomorrow they will look like brown mush. The predicted low tonight is 27F. WHAT! Wonderful signs of Spring, and the coldest we have had all winter all at the same time. At least it has been very sunny. Yes, you got it Georgians, no snow in sight.

Here are a few more Spring beauties. The Daffodil blooms might be affected, but the ones that haven’t bloomed yet will have no problem.

Here are some blooms that look like roses, but are Camellias. They are winter flowers, and bloom in January, February, and March. These blooms will not be troubled at all. They are nicknamed the Southern Rose. Can you see why?

Are there any signs of Spring where you live, or are traveling?

When Will It Stop Raining?

While we were in Linköping, Sweden, it rained nearly every day. Not always for a long time, but the rain came most days. My husband, Daren asked one of his colleagues at work, “When does it stop raining in Linköping?” His answer was, “When it starts snowing.” We received this picture from a friend in Linköping today.

The temperature in Linköping today is -13C, or 9F.

Oh, Linköping, did I mention that the temperature here in Atlanta today is 70F,or 22C. Summertime in Linköping! I don’t think we are going to get snow this year for Christmas, but in 2010 we had snow on Christmas. The first time since 1882.
