Tim McGraw is in the spirit of spring and flowers blooming as he posted a photo of a pickup truck full of primarily red and light purple colored flowers to plant around his home near Nashville.

Tim captioned the photo on Instagram, "That time again!"

Many fans reacted to the post, including one fan who wrote, "Can't wait to get my flowers in." Another fan commented, "Yeah, and it's the best time." One more fan said, "The work will be well worth the joy!"

The Nashville, Tennessee, area has been warmer and feels more like spring in the last week or so, with temperatures in the 80s yesterday (4/19). A few weeks ago, Nashville weather was still pretty cold for this time of year, with temperatures in the evening in the 40s.

McGraw recently announced that he just started a new music, movie, and TV production company called Down Home. Tim posted a video clip about his new company on Instagram.

He captioned the video clip, "It's been hard to keep this one a secret for so long! Storytelling has always been one of my biggest passions, and I'm ready to take that same passion and apply it to something even bigger. I can't reveal too much just yet, but I can promise you that this company is going to be something special. We're going to be shaking things up, breaking new ground, and bringing people together in a whole new way. And after years of work behind the scenes, I am beyond thrilled to officially announce the launch of Down Home, a new media production company with @skydance, @shareability, and @emco615."

He added, "Follow @downhome to be the first to hear about our upcoming TV and film projects, new content initiatives for fans, artists, and brands, and the growth of our Nashville studios. Can't wait to unravel the incredible, untold stories with such a talented team!"

Tomorrow (5/17), Brooks and Dunn will announce who will be the next three inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and every year the debate goes on as to who should get country music's ultimate honor, which was just bestowed on The Judds earlier this month (5/1).

Garth is in as-is Reba, Dolly, George Strait. But some country music artists have been passed over for many years. We look at eight artists who should make it to the Hall of Fame.
