Nature Notes and Our World Tuesday: Second Week of April

We have had a fantastic April so far; not too hot, not too cold . . .



Next week looks like it will be pretty too.



Now that we're into pollen season I'm glad that in between the sunny days we are getting rain to wash away the yellow pollen coat.



I hope we don't have a late April freeze which happens some years but the later we get into April the less likely it is.



I don't mind cold weather in the spring but once the trees leaf out extreme drops in temperature do a lot of damage.



One year my pecan tree didn't do well after losing it's first crop of leaves to an extreme temperature drop.



I like the wisteria in the next shot climbing up the trees.



It is amazing how fast the trees leaf out once the process starts.



I like the shade of green on the new leaves.



My red azaleas are always 2 weeks to a month earlier than my white and pink azaleas.
