As the pollen drifts downward, coating our cars, homes, and outdoor furniture, tissues are a hot commodity. Allergies are in full bloom. But it is difficult to hold a grudge against Mother Nature, especially when she is busy painting her earthly canvas with the brilliant colors of spring. After a cold, dismal winter, the colors are a welcome sight, assuming you can see through watery, red eyes. If it's too much on your sinuses to get out and walk amongst the flora of the season, put down that box of tissues and scroll through this virtual tour of the blossoms around my place.

| Our Purple Phlox love to creep down the hill on which they were planted. |
 |
| The Red Tulip leaves have begun to curl. |
 |
| The multi-color Red and Yellow Tulips look like fire this year. |
 |
| Lots of wild Common Blue Violets pop up during the first weeks of spring. |
 |
| The Pink Dogwoods are beautiful against the North Carolina blue sky background. |
 |
| White Dogwood petals warmly replaced the snow flurries of winter. |
 |
| Our Daffodils are done blooming, but we enjoyed their sunny welcome to spring. |
