Letters to a friend...: Spring is coming? Yes!

I was taking a walk yesterday and stopped by the crabapple tree. Something caught my attention and I looked closer. Surprised, I found out there were some buds on the ends of the branches! I couldn't believe what I saw in mid January. Not in March, not even in February but in the first month of the year...

So today I had a camera with me when I walked around the neighborhood and I took some pictures... In fact multiple trees looked ready to burst with leaves and flowers. Actually, I don't think they were ready. I guess we need to wait for a while before we see the buds open...
