Outdoor Wednesday-May Apples and Redbuds!!!

It's Outdoor Wednesday again over at Susan's...she has snow photos! I love when it snows...last year we got snow in April!!
The May apples are pushing their way up through the ground and the Redbuds are blooming so usually that's a sure sign of spring...dare we hope?
It is a gorgeous day in east Texas, sun is shining and the birds are singing and looking for nest material.

The first bloom on the Tulip tree...it is so dry here I don't know if any more will open! I turned the sprinklers on this morning and fertilized with an organic fertilizer I found at Lowes. Hopefully it will help.

Native Redbud tree...


This is called a Mexican Plum and is native to Texas...it smells heavenly! You can see the Redbud in the background.
