Red Maple budding out, March 10, 2020.
Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress. ~ Charles Dickens
I didn’t realize this maple was budding out until I was standing next to it, and I swear it didn’t look like this yesterday. Gentle and easy changes, indeed.

I drove home from my Writer Friends group this afternoon and noticed the cottonwoods beginning to bud out. Like you, I don’t think they were bursting their buds this morning.
Lovely to have them out, but I do hope we don’t have a hard frost in the next couple of months.

I agree about them being a lovely sign of spring, while also feeling a bit early/vulnerable to freezing temps.
