Keeping Track of Spring's Blooms

First the daffodils poked up their heads and the cherry & plum trees bloomed. They're mostly spent now, although there's a particularly lovely purple/pink blossom that looks a lot like plum that came out quite late. I'll check and see what the fruit (if any) looks like later on to see what 'tis.
Close to the start were magnolias, mostly done now. Apple trees've shifted by-and-large from blossoms to leaves by now. Lilacs're still scenting madly w/their lovely lilac-purple blossoms. Tulips're around, but losing ground to the newest pretties: irises (bearded & clean-shaven). And now the dogwoods're really hitting their stride. Ditto azaleas & rhodies, which've been out for about a month, actually.
Spring's coming along quite nicely.
I, meanwhile, have finally realized that I need to take it mega-easy today and o'morrow. This bit of a sore throat's not going away. Quite the opposite, in fact. Gonna sleep, hydrate, suck down s'more Vit-C, and get better, as there's lots of bicycling, walkies, hiking, &c. to do out there!
