The most beautiful time of the year

April 17, 2015

The redbud trees and wisteria have been exceptionally pretty this spring.  I have loved walking down our street and looking at the flowers.  It's sad to see the petals falling to the ground and the trees losing their lustre.  Good bye, spring!

Spring in Rome

 The street in front of the villa is absolutely beautiful this time of year.  The redbud trees are in full bloom and wisteria droops from all the branches and fences.  Bella!

Via Cimone in spring

President planted daffodil bulbs in the flower pot where I plant basil.  Now that the flowers are in full bloom, we don't know if the basil tastes like daffodils or the daffodils smell like basil.

This is the sight that greets us everyday.   The redbud trees and wisteria are in full bloom.  I love springtime.
