I walked down to the mailbox this afternoon and noticed that my next door neighbor's yard was full of flowering trees...
These trailing pale pink blossoms gently waved in the warm breeze...
Our yard has at least 8 dogwoods and a beautiful Japanese cherry tree....
...but not a single blossom has appeared yet!
It is something to look forward to!
A blogging friend has pointed out that I am approaching 400 posts!
Guess it's time for another give away!
Hmmm....I will have to give this some thought...
...perhaps I'll sleep on it!
good night! :)

What a lovely treat to see on your way to pick up the mail! :)
Is there anything more beautiful...WOW !!
Oh those soft pink blossoms look dreamy...I'd be tempted to float some in a dish....do you think your neighbour would mind you picking a few?
Those are very pretty. I was so happy to come home to the Magnolia blooms. Not a bloom in sight on the dogwoods here either.
Love them! So beautiful! Love the angle of those photos and the way you took them! ~lulu

Hey girlfriend!
Don't ya just LOVE spring!!! Of course, down here in Texas, along the gulf, we pretty much see different plants blooming throughout the year. I can't imagine what it would be like not to see flowers in bloom or even "green" grass (much less grass period---with all that white stuff you get)!!!! Guess one day you will have to come down to bayou country during your LONG HARD winter and get some sunshine in the south and watch the flowers bloom during the winter? :)
xo...deb
Such spring loveliness. Your trees will bloom soon and then your neighbor will be envious. :)
Lovely, lovely blossoms!!
Blossoms blossoming...sweet pale beauty.
Beautiful pink blossoms, happy spring. Florence
Dear Laura,
Sorry that I've missed a few of your posts. I had food poisoning from a slippery little oyster !!!!
The blossom looks beautiful. One of my favourite signs of Spring. We waved our daughter and boyfriend off to Japan on Sunday and they will be there just as the cherry blossom is at its best. It's supposed to be a wonderful sight.
Congratulations on 400 posts. That is a feat, indeed. I'm only up to 80 something !! I'm small fry compared to you !! haha.
Enjoy the blossom. We are not quite at that stage but, not long now. XXXX
So sweet and delicate! Just lovely, Laura. :-)

Hi Laura
Beautiful blossoms. Our two apple trees have not blossomed either...Very slow this year.
I would like to have a dodwood tree in the garden, the flowers are so beautiful, I wonder what it would cope with out Somerset weather...
400 posts! Wow, I am amazed and often wonder how you have the time to fit it all in AND make each of your posts a delight to look at and read. Well done to you, it's a great achievement!
Take care

I have no flowering trees ...boohoo

Oh my goodness, how beautiful! Love those blossoms, you enjoy theirs... and then enjoy yours. Have a blessed day! Hugs!
gorgeous blossoms, thanks for sharing these!
Lovely pink blossoms!! I love the surprise of spring blooms. They seem to happen overnight! My dogwood just bloomed and I brought a few stems into the house for a beautiful arrangement!
Hope you are having a wonderful week!

LOOOOOVE that delicate shade of pink~!
Thes are so beautiful, Laura. I remember dogwoods from my time in the States. Even as a small child, I was very taken by the flowers. Please show us some when they finally come out!
...simple loveiness! Spring trees that flower give us such a spectacular show!
xo, Rosemary
That pale sweet pink color is fantastic! You got some great shots. I've just realized that my sun roses did not survive our winter here in Wa state, which was mild. Now I've got to tear them out and replant.
Beautiful pics of the pink flowers. I am glad I found this blog. I have really become a fan of flea markets since I started blogging. I love some of the things you have found and how you have used them.
These are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them...I love pale pink flowers. Have a great day!!
Hugs,
Victoria

What lovely pictures !!! I'm so charmed but excuse me please to write in bad english !
I can read but i have very difficult to express myself in this language!
I beg your pardon ........
Belle fin de journée et à tout bientôt.
My son bought me a white dogwood 10 years ago... it's slowly growing and I love it so because it is from him. We have a gorgeous pink one that makes my heart sing. Lovely pictures! Jennifer
Ahh - I posted our Japanese Cherry Blossom a week or so ago. I'm devastated that it is soon to finish. I just love spring for those beautiful pink and white blossoms, the first bees and the nesting birds.
May your sleep be like a breath of Spring.

These blossoms and photos are beautiful Laura!!
Blessings~
I can´t wait to see them here too! I bought some cherry blossom branches but they just resist to bloom! ;)
And is it not one of the most beautiful color combination....pale pink with with faded gray?

The pink blossoms are gorgeous. This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love to see all of the blossoms and color on the trees. So refreshing after a cold, gray winter.
