    Happy Outdoor Wednesday. Wonderful photos of the Bradford Pear trees. I can't believe your tulips are finishing their blooms while I'm waiting for my crocuses to be more then little green stubs.

  6. Susa,

    I don't think I have ever seen a Bradford Pear Tree. They are just beautiful. The tulips are just so pretty too, I like all the pastel colors mixed together like that. I think those are geese on the lake.

    Happy Outdoor Wednesday and as always, thanks for being the hostess!

  13. The pear trees are incredibly beautiful!!
    All the flowering fruit trees around here
    (Las Vegas) are puny. We don't get huge ones like that. Maybe the heat stunts their growth. :)
    Thank you SO MUCH for the beautiful Irish blessing you left on my blog today. It was so sweet of you. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank-you!!

  30. Hi Susan,
    This is the first year as a blogger that I will be seeing Spring on your side of the world and how wonderful it looks already.

    Your blossoms are so beautiful. I have a totally green and white garden this week mixed with a white tablesetting. I am also joining Tablescape Thursday as well and as I have meetings for the rest of this week, I thought I would combine the two together.

    Green and white - perfect for St Patrick's Day.

    Happy Outdoor Wednesday,

  32. Thanks for being the hostess with the mostest. A few days ago in Illinois we still had ice on Lake Michigan. I really enjoyed seeing your Bradford Pear trees in bloom and the tulips are almost done blooming already? Jeepers we are just beginning to see bulbs breaking through ground here. Blogging certainly helps a person realize what different areas look like all year long.

  48. Susan these photos are gorgeous.

    When we arrived at the lake, Monday, we were pleasantly surprised to see the forsythia and pear trees in bloom. They have not bloomed at home, yet. Although we are having great weather here. I expect they will be blooming when we go home in a couple of weeks.

    I'll take my camera along when we go to town, later, and try to get some blooms in the Ozarks for next Outdoor Wednesday.
