ORCHARD SNEAK PEEK

It's a lovely time of year! Spring brings new hope and energy! Allow me to show you what we see and smell living in an orchard every year. Seems a pity not to share it. :)  Each fruit blossom is similar and yet uniquely different.

One of the first signs of Spring. Robins are rather cute...really. They are such ladylike birds even though they sit on the wash line and poop on our nice clean sheets.

Future apples

Apple blossoms are still prettiest of all.

....and of course, these dandelions are everywhere. They are such a happy yellow and very pretty until their gray heads blow all over the place. But that makes for even more happiness next year....
