Is it Finally Spring?

I spent two hours in the garden pulling weeds and cutting down a bush that was over six feet high and about as wide.  I am totally wrecked.  But I had to run out and take a photo of the crabapple I planted two years ago.  Last year it did not bloom, but this year it is putting on a lovely show.  Hard to take a photo as I planted it near the fence.



This tree is replacing an old Snowdrift crabapple that developed heart rot disease.  It was removed last fall.  Here is a pic of its twin from 45 years ago that is still growing in the back yard.  It has just started to open.
And that pine tree on the left is from a seedling my son brought home from first grade in oh, 1985?

Is it truly spring?
