Sprung

Spring has arrived super early here with everything bursting into bloom almost a whole month sooner than normal. It seems strange when late February looks and feels more like April. It's been up to 85 degrees every afternoon. I've been wearing shorts for a week.

It's a lovely time of year in South Carolina, and my favorite season by far. It's so nice outside today that I'm inspired to share some photos with you. The first was taken by me in my backyard this morning. The rest are courtesy of my friend since childhood, Trey, and were taken in our hometown in Marion County, SC as well as Myrtle Beach, SC, which is only about a 45 minute drive from where we grew up. (Thanks for letting me use these, Trey. I really appreciate it!)

    Nice photos. I'm especially drawn to the sunset on the Little Pee Dee River.

    Wow, absolutely beautiful photos. January here was spring weather but February gave us seven inches of snowfall.

    It all looks very calm and beautiful. No actual blossom here yet, but the buds are swelling. However, leaves are bursting out on the Quince and the Weeping Willow. Hooray!

    These are beautiful pictures, Jennifer! You know I have a "thing" for dramatic skies, so the first one is my favourite here.
    You're going about in shorts? Wow! At ca. 15 F here this morning, I won't leave the house with the warmest of my padded winter coats, scarf, gloves and woolly hat!

    Great photos! I love the idyllic countryside and the flowering trees. I used to love riding through South Carolina when my family traveled north from Florida to my grandmother's in DC every year -- and those photos remind me of the sights I used to see. (We passed through Marion County, I think!)

    Well - that's so nice for you Jennifer! Spring days and shorts while Europe shivers. I am not jealous, not jealous at all. Jealousy is mean-spirited.
