You Capture: Week Six - Spring

It's funny, not ha-ha funny, but ironic funny that this week's challenge is Spring.
Because today, we seriously regressed back into winter. It snowed here. It did, thank you Jesus, melt before midday.
I AM SO OVER THE SNOW.
Nevertheless, I went outside (brrrrrrr) and tried to capture some Spring.
Spring in these parts is a fleeting thing. But I did find this:

Our Magnolia has buds.
When we first moved in our house, B was about to pull this tree out - it looked dead.
But I asked him to leave it, just till the spring.
When it blooms, it looks like this:

Please excuse the gratuitous baby pic - the tree is in the background...
And another sign of spring at our house? The yard is completely in pieces. We are redoing our lawn.

Lovely, isn't it? But, later in the summertime, I should have some fabulous after shots. I'd BETTER, at least.
