COUNTRY ROADWAY IN BLOOM

NATIVE REDBUD TREES IN FULL BLOOM NEAR WHERE I LIVE

  1. My Dad loved redbud or Judas tree, and everywhere we lived, which was a lot of places, he planted a sprig that became a tree. Love the ribbon of road. I remember them vividly and like to visit my daughter who lives down such a country lane. I love to visit her for more reasons than that of course.

  4. Absolutely beautiful, and your spring is so far ahead of ours. I saw only the beginnings of Skunk Cabbage just today. I'm experiencing a bit of spring with your help.

  5. Dianne -- Did not know that redbuds were known as Judas trees. I know they grow well here in KY.

    Three signifiers of spring for me is peepers, redwinged blackbird calls and last but not least the redbuds in bloom.

    I have followed your occasional family stories -- you write them so well -- barbara

  6. Bill -- glad I could help your yearning for spring. I figure you are a bit behind KY but it should be arriving soon as the skunk cabbage is a harbinger. Thanks -- barbara

  9. Barbara,
    Your photo captures the feel of driving in Kentucky right now wonderfully. We drove to southern Illinois today and the interstate was lined with the redbuds and dogwoods starting to bloom. The winding up and down of country roads much better. Wisteria blooming here in western kentucky. I think I have forgotten winter already.

  11. June -- If you were here I think you would be in awe like I am now of what I am seeing in nature. I've been here three years and I'm still blown away when I ride through the countryside during spring. Thanks -- barbara

  15. Oh, how beautiful! Redbuds are borderline hardy around here and I've never seen a display like that. Just lovely.

  17. Sheri -- When I lived in the Midwest redbuds were not very prevalent -- I don't think they are all that hardy in the North. They are abundant in the woods and edges in KY. Thanks -- barbara
