Spring

We don't want to rub it in but spring is in full force in Florida. Sun and warm temperature and some rain have made everything come alive. The azaleas have already passed but the citrus trees that we planted a month ago are in blossom. This is the Meyer Lemon. In November it will have lemons that are bigger than an orange.

The citrus we picked all bear fruit which will ripen between October and April so we get them while we are here. The ones that are blooming now will ripen on the October end of the time frame. This is a Midsweet Orange.

When the Millers were here they spotted this tree which has fruit on it already. It's a Loquat and has a yellow fruit the size of a lemon.

A close up shows how many fruit the tree will give - unfortunately they ripen in the May time frame.

Some of the Bromeliads have shot up flowers.

Even in the most unlikely spot, an indent in a rock, an Impatien blooms.

Here's another flower along the driveway- I don't know what it is (maybe a Firebush) but there are a lot of them.

Even Kayla is enjoying the spring. She was out hunting and caught a baby squirrel.

After doing her victory dance she ate the whole thing. Only thing left was the tail.
