One of the things I really wanted when we moved to “The South” was a dogwood tree. I know nothing about them but they sound like something a southern house should have.

Heading out this morning with my dogs, I spotted a few tiny blooms on one of the rather nondescript trees in the front yard. This tree has been leafless and barren since we moved in and I have been anxiously waiting to see what might bloom and what it would reveal itself to be. I think I may have my dogwood! (If anyone thinks it is something else please let me know.)

Regardless, it is a pretty little flower and I am happy to see my naked little tree start to fill in and come to life.

Here are a few more plants, flowers and trees coming to life and enjoying the warm weather.
