peaches – How Would You Do It?

Alas! Snowy Peaches

An Itty-Bitty Bobber!

: Out at Sunrise and what do I see? Not a Dan-de-Lion, it’s a Snow-de-Lion!

Ming 008 — **Punxatawny Phil was right, darn it. Oh, my poor little peaches! They were covered by bumblebees just last weekend.**

Fudge likes it.

Ming 026 — ***Coming down like confetti early, but all gone by noon.***

I have a fervent hope that Puxatawney (sp?) Phil was wrong this year! A spiffily dressed gentleman holding the poor creature high somehow inferred 6 more weeks of winter. But I have peach trees and plums blooming! No hard freezes, please…pretty please?

Is that a bear on the far right side?

The first harbinger of Spring has been in bloom all week everywhere I look around the cabin, and how beautiful they are. There are several spots were the flowers cover square yards of ground. I rather like this brightening of the drab woodland, myself. The Wild Branch is still up – rain, rain, rain. Better than snow, snow, snow like some of you poor souls are getting.

Spring MUST Be On the Way!

Last weekend got up to the low 70’s F and I had to walk about to see how nature fared. Oh look! The Spring Flowers (narcissi) are coming up through the leaves!

See the buds! And one single bloom on the entire bank. These are massed halfway up the vertical part of my driveway. It’s shady there; the Spring Flowers at the gravel road turn-off are already in full bloom. That’s not on my land, though…I love what’s in my front yard best.

The peaches, nectarine and plum are swelling their buds…I sure hope a hard freeze doesn’t kill them.

The ferns are getting green and the strawberries are escaping their bounds. Last but by no means least, the twig with the yellow ribbon is a lilac…it’s getting buds too. Spring MUST be on it’s bright and sunny way!
