Five on Friday: Spring Ahead

Just a little photo essay made up of scenes from this past week of the season of hopes dashed and fulfilled, for today's post:

1. Thursday

Took a hike in a light jacket; took it off.
Found a few of these guys.

2. Saturday

3. Monday 

morning

afternoon

4.  Tuesday

5. Friday

Was really hoping these were going to be open by this morning for today's post! Alas, I forgot we live above the magical weather line of Hunterdon County and always have the latest bloomers.
At least the buds give me hope . . . we are definitely springing forward!
