Yellow flowers

It's finally beginning to look and feel like spring around here!  Lots of yellow flowers everywhere.

March and April in the backyard

We had two snowstorms in early March with high winds, which resulted in many downed limbs and a tree blown over.  It was time to call in the tree care professionals, and they did a great job of trimming, cutting, chipping and shredding. Now, in early April it's still cold and windy, but we have the first flowers of spring!

These are some of my favorite backyard visitors from March, which was generally cold and snowy this year.
