Dogwood Blooms Early

Spring came early to the mountains of North Carolina. The dogwood, which normally blooms at the end of April, started blooming last week. Friends who have lived here for over ten years say this is one of the earliest Springs on record. They have gotten snow in April, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that the nice weather continues.

Here is a pink dogwood tree in our backyard. They only last a week so we are enjoying the colors in the neighborhood.
