S is for Second Look

How lucky is this? S falls on Wednesday, my regular Second Look day. I've had to be creative with my letters to work a Second Look in each week, but this week it was easy as pie. Thank goodness, because A-Z blogging fatigue is starting to set in.

For new visitors to this blog, you can check out my Second Look tab, but basically I explore my yard each week, to see what is going on. During this, I am hoping to see the flowers and not the weeds and see what the critters are up to and not the grass that needs to be mowed. So without further ado, here are some things I saw this week during a Second Look.

The peach tree seems to have a fair amount of blooms on it this year.



Different varieties of daffodils continue to bloom. At first glance these two kinds look the same, but notice the difference in their bells.  The daffodils in the next three pictures are new this week also.

The bluebird almost finished a nest this week.

  1. Your peach tree blossoms are gorgeous. We had a couple of beautiful days over the weekend and the buds on the trees started popping, but now it's chilly and we had snow flurries this morning, so I think we're a few weeks away from where your spring blossoms are. Your bluebird is so pretty!

    1. Snow flurries! I'm so sorry. I bet your blossoms are closer than you think. It's just been the last week or so that everything seems to have come out at once here. Until then, you'll just have to hang onto the memories of your early crocus.

  2. Wow, your yard is beautiful including the peach blossoms. We had an early spring, early cherry bloom but now temps are dipping back towards the 30s at night.

    1. That must be disappointing to have everything bloom then have the cold temperatures return. It will be warm soon enough for you, I hope.

  3. It definitely looks like Spring has arrived in your back yard! Love the flowers!

    1. And every day, something else blooms. It's a great time of year.
