Spring in Full Bloom

Spring Arrives in Reno -













Spring is in full bloom here in Reno! Never before have I lived in a city with so many cherry trees. It certainly came as a big surprise, since cherry blossoms are not usually what people associate with Nevada. The university campus, in particular, is beautiful this time of year. The large elm trees that line the historic quad have leafed out and the grass is a brilliant green. Holly and I are beginning to prepare the garden for summer.

Hey Tom, the flowers are looking beautiful! We have some gorgeous flowering trees here too, but a late frost kind of killed all the cherry blossoms and I basically missed it this year- oops.

It kind of feels like we've regressed back to winter this past week, but at least the little bit of rain that we're getting is good for the lawn. Even when it is "rainy" here in Reno, it usually doesn't rain that much.
