Bloom and Grow

I mowed the lawn today, which is its signal to start growing. Most of it didn't need the signal and some areas were already quite thick and tall. All the flowering trees and shrubs seem to be in bloom at the same time this year. Maybe some are early and some are late, I don't know, but I don't remember everything blooming all at once like this before.

Violets and clover

The redbud trees are humming--full of bees.
