Oaks are very slow to leaf out.
Farmers have begun working in the fields.
A survey crew was by and began surveying our County Road...rumor has it that it will be redone this summer. Only four miles are marked...who know what that means.
We had lunch with my parents for Mother's Day and last night I took my Dad to Bingo. Neither of us bingoed but my baby brother did...so we weren't total losers.

Hard to believe you are still kind of brown. I have had to mow my lawn once already and it needs it again. It is green around here with all the new leaves coming in. Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day to you.
The oaks are just beginning to start here, I noticed that while fencing and walking the woods the last nice day we had. Cold this morning...36 degrees!
I'm going to need a haybine soon if I can get the yard mowed!
Yesterday we had what felt like full-on summer, almost 80 degrees and very dry. I'll be glad when this warm spell passes and we get back to our normal weather. I look forward to seeing green in your pictures very soon now. :-)
We have had green for at least two weeks...it is amazing how fast it comesxwhen it starts.
Does that mean you will now have ditches? Your spring is very slow. I assume that it will start to green soon with it being May. I guess a couple of weeks will make a big change. Living in the south I have to mow the second time this weekend.
The grass has gotten very green here with all the rain. Your can't be far behind. You have a lot more shade than I do--LOL! ;)
About the same here - the tiny leaves that appeared last week are now drooping and black due to the cold and snow earlier this week. Happy Mother's Day to you, your Mom, your daughters, and granddaughter.
I agree, this spring just doesn't want to take hold. Hopefully soon!
Happy Mother's Day!
Hope you start seeing some green soon.
We're greening up a lot here in northern Indiana because of all the rain.... but it's 43 degrees at nearly 10am as I type this. Golly, it feels like it's never going to warm up!! :-( Love, Andrea
COME ON SPRING --- You are totally missed!
We had spring arrive almost overnight. Poof! Went to bed all brown outside and woke up to little baby buds on the trees about a week ago and have "real" leaves on most trees now. 84 degrees is predicted for tomorrow before cooling back down to normal next week again. This has been the strangest spring I can remember in a long time.
I'm glad you both were able to get out for lunch and bingo. Hopefully life will return to normal for you soon.
Blessings,
Betsy
I wonder if there is any chance they will pave or blacktop your county road? When my parents retired in the country on an old dirt road it was a big deal if they even graded the road. Spring is slow in many areas this year. We have Spring but with occasional almost winter like days. The weather gets stranger every year it seems.
Maybe you will go directly to summer — hot, hot, hot. I hope not!
The County Road is blacktop, the photo is our driveway:)
We are in zone 6B almost on the Virginia line but in West Virginia and just a short distance from the lines of Maryland, Pennsylvania. Are Lilacs and Snowball bushes are done and now have Iris and Peony bushes starting to bloom! But, oh the Allergies and humidity!!!!I discovered last year that I can't bring my peonies in the house anymore because my allergies have gotten worse. I'm so mad because I love bouquets in the house.I went to the nurseries several times already and have brought home two more White crabapple trees, two more Snowball bushes and lots of flowers to plant. What was I thinking said my husband! Oops! Well, it's Mothers day weekend I said! Now ,it's a weekend and not a day he said! yup, that's it! Guess I have to plant because tomorrow is a lot cooler than today. Hope you have a nice Mothers Day Connie. Sharon
That's your driveway? I love it. You must live some distance away from the main road then which is perfect.
So happy you had a special lunch with your parents for Mother's Day. I wish you a blessed day. It's a pleasure to have "met" your children and grands thru your blog. God bless you and FG.
Spring has been slow and wet here.
I wish I could send you some green for your Mother's day.
Spring has been slow here too but it's speeding up now. No leaves yet!
You really have waited a long time for spring. Hope nice spring weather stays with you for a good while. You all sure deserve it after such a long winter. Glad you could have lunch with your parents for Mother's Day. That is very special. Hope you have a good Mother's Day.
Things are just starting to green up here as well... finally!!
I hope Spring hurries up and gets to your neck o' the woods! You could use some warm temps and perky spring scenery!
It really does seem slow. I'm going to have to look back and see! I might just be wrong, though!
