I live in Toledo Ohio.  I have lived in my house 11 years and there is a Rhododendron bush in front of my house.  It has always bloomed in early spring.  I noticed about a week ago that it is blooming????  I will try to attach a picture of it.  You can see the blooms and the fall leaves behind it!  A very odd thing to be sure.  

There is a country song out for people who drink alcohol and wish to imbibe prior to the acceptable 5:00 pm called "It's five o'clock somewhere".  It got me to thinking about my bush blooming early.  I was thinking that for us Doves, It's springtime Somewhere!  Someone should write a song!
