FLOWERING TREES

A part of spring that I really love is looking at all the flowering trees.  A part of spring that I really hate is all the flowering trees make my allergies go crazy (even with taking my medication).  But in any case flowering trees are all around and I thought I'd show you a couple of them today.

These white trees are in front of the library.  I don't know what they are but they stink to high heaven.  But they're pretty!



In front of church is a flowering dogwood (Pennsylvania's state tree) which I just love.  I take pictures of it each year.  Yesterday it was finally fully blooming.




Saturday and yesterday it was in the 80s and beautiful.  I even opened the windows in the house to let the fresh air in and hung my clothes out to dry.  Today it is cold!  Comparatively speaking anyway.  Yesterday tank top; today sweatshirt.

This has not been the best weekend.  Joe and I have both spent it battling a stomach virus.  *sigh*  I'm still not 100% but hoping to make it through the day at work today.  

I did get my Sunday afternoon nap in though.  I used to do that all the time, then stopped.  I just started doing it again the other week and realized how much I missed it and how much better I feel for it even a day later.  Isn't it funny how as kids we hated naps and as adults we love them?

My esophagus is doing spasms again too.  I guess it's time to go for the endoscopy.  I put it off when Joe fell all those times and needed help.  He's better now so it's probably the time.  I have so many doctor appointments to make.  I must be getting old.

 I'm trying again to take pictures at 8:30 p.m.  It's hard to do it every day for a month and I already missed last night.  But here's May 1 and 2.  Let's see how well I do.  I'm hoping to see it get lighter and lighter as we head toward the first day of Summer.

So dark.  Oops it says 7:22 p.m. but it was really 8:22.  I guess I didn't change the time on my camera.  It was very cloudy that day.

This is better.  By coincidence it was also 8:22 p.m.  You can even see the sun between the buildings.  This is what happens when it's not cloudy.
 So it's off to get ready for work.  See everyone later.

    Love, love the trees!
    Sure sign of Spring when the trees are in full bloom.

    Glad to hear Joe is better and I hope you get in to see about your esophagus.
    Then take another Nap! That sounds so good right now, ZZzzzz
