A beautiful springtime photo in Russel County, KY on Monday, March 19, 2018, and an annual dilemma, solved for CM many times before: Forsythia is easy. But the red bush?

Redbud Time: Flower tree in teaser stage, Russell County, KY 2018-03-20 - Russell County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Yesterday, Monday, March 19, 2018, in the wake of an education by Granddaughters Hailey & Tilley, there was a new family speak in our family: Flowering trees are "flower trees," for one, and that was the quest for Monday pictures. And here's a great one, a redbud flower tree in Russell County, very early for this part of the country, we thought - usually - the counties with a jump on spring are associated with the prevailing winds - Metcalfe, Barren, Warren, and particularly Todd and Christian; we expect them to be ahead. But here it was, a redbud tree in it's teaser stage, exhilarating with anticipation more than fulfillment. But it does mean the daily watch for us and readers is on. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Daffodil Watch 2018 - Double blossoms in Russell County 2018-03-20 - Russell County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The old fashioned double Daffodils are just now coming into full, explosive bloom, bringing in this first day of spring 2018. They have many more than double the petals of regular ones, but since my grandmother called them doubles when they grew wild in her yard, I call them that until I learn something more official. These also have more than double the scent of regular Daffodils, their sweet smell says spring to me. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
