I told you that you’d be seeing more pictures of flowers here…
Our family has been absolutely amazed by how many blossoms have been on our apple trees this year. (I love the way the sweet little buds start out pink and then turn white as the petals open.) I thought last year was a record year for that, but this year seems in another realm entirely. Even our young, small trees have been completely covered in white. (Amazing, really, with all the damage the moles have been doing around their roots.)
We’re all hoping for a good apple year. I know it’s a bit early, but I’m already thinking about applesauce. At one point our pantry shelves were filled with canned applesauce and then we had more homemade applesauce in the freezer (that never got canned, but stuck there instead) and I thought we would have plenty to last us for a good, long while. But we ate up every last jar this winter… and lately I’ve been buying applesauce at the store and it just hasn’t compared. I’ve got a little while to wait, though, until applesauce-making-time. For now I’ll enjoy those lovely blossoms every time I step out the door, while they’re still here…
Taryn; what beautiful pictures!!!! I too have been in complete awe and amazement at everything around us bursting into the most luscious blossoms and colors. Spring is my favorite season of all – so full of new beginnings, promises and hope. Then again, each season holds something so special and dear, doesn’t it? For now I am enjoying everything coming to life and I can’t wait to plant my garden.
By the way, your muffins were delicious. I added some blueberries which made them just perfect. I tried the ghee mixed with honey like you suggested in your post. Is there anything more heavenly than that????????? No, i dont believe so 😊
You have definitely made me a believer. Thank you for that -❤
How beautiful, fingers crossed for s bumper crop! The blossom is only just starting here as all the stormy weather has held it back. A friend recently told me that Victorian gardeners used to dig plants up and take them round the garden in a wheelbarrow before replanting them, apparently this “shocked” the plants and made them more productive! Maybe the moles have had the same effect!
