Topic: apples
There was just one warm sunny day in May, then it clouded over and has been cool since, and often windy. Today the sun came out. The neighbor cat visited to instruct me on the proper use of my deck.
My apple trees have been in full bloom for three days. Today it's warm enough for the bees to be flying, finally! One year the trees had lots of blooms but no fruit because it was too cold for the pollinators. This year I have hope of a good crop. This photo is a few of the blossoms of my Norland apple tree. The sultry sweet scent is intoxicating.
