New spring from our Gnome Home

Just had quite a few photos from around the home.
This was our purple crocus. They bloomed really early this year. I failed to get a photo of the yellow ones.

Our mini-hyacinth. They keep spreading each year.

Our stone plums. We have 2 big clumps of these and another 3 more starts. They come up from shoots off the roots and will take over. The plums make the best jams. 

We have lots of fruit trees...peach, plum, apples, pears, persimmon, apricot, fig and even mulberry. These are some of the peach. The last few days they have really popped out more. I'm praying we don't have anymore freezing or frosty days.

Our forsythia and redbud trees have popped out even more. And just took this photo of the tulip magnolia my DIL Jackie gave me a couple of years ago. It has doubled in size. 
Our hawks are back but not sure they are nesting yet. 
We've cut back the muscadine grapes and also cut down a green gage plum that had died. 
*****************
I love the old abandoned buildings so here are a few I've found this week.


I know some of these are not abandoned but love them anyway.
We had a full moon on the first day of spring this past week. It was a supermoon and also called a Worm moon. Seems the worms are supposed to come up at this time of the year. But this photo is so neat and looks like someone holding a glowing marble.
And I'll end with this. 
Thanks for reading.
