Please enjoy the photos of spring in Ada - attachment at bottom of story -

The Village of Ada is know for the flowering pear trees that line Main Street each April, but the residential sections of town are decked in beauty as well.  

Pears, flowering crab apples are out in full bloom. Recent cold weather didn’t affect them, however the bright yellow forsythia were “scorched” this year.

Redbud trees and japonica are just now starting to show their colors, soon other shrubs and trees will add their touch of beauty to the landscape.
