Last year a late season frost wiped out our peach and nectarine crop. The unusually wet summer did in all the apples, pears, grapes and persimmons. We have been hoping and praying that this year would be better. Unfortunately the weather guessers are calling for below freezing temperatures and the chance of snow in a few days.
The miniature daffodils have been blooming as well as their larger relatives.
I have been able to keep vases full of cut flowers all over the house.
The pear trees are starting to bloom in the orchard.
The peach trees in the orchard are ready to burst forth any day now.
We have two weeping cherry trees and this one is almost blooming. The one in front of the house has blossoms on it.
The lovely blossom is on what Mike calls his "patio peach". This peach tree is growing in a large container on the back deck.
The patio peach is covered in flowers. We are thinking of how to protect it from the cold temperatures that are coming. Like all the other peach trees is bore no fruit last summer.
Looking down the street, all the neighbor's Bradford pear trees are in bloom. Hard to believe that snow is actually possible again in a little over 48 hours.
In the meantime, we wait and hope that the weather changes and our peach and nectarine crops are not wiped out for a second year. Please, not again.
