Signs of Spring Part 2

After raining on and off all night, this is what we were greeted with on our way out the door early this morning!



This is our peach tree in our 'mini' orchard. When we moved in we planted a cherry, peach, pear, and apple trees on a bit of land beside our driveway that the former owners had just let grow up with weeds and dreaded blackberry bushes (we are still fighting those things). We de-weeded, mowed, round-uped and pulled blackberry bushes and now we have a nice little 'fruit garden'!This is our first bloomer of the year! Now I have to watch close for frost but they are tough little trees. Just thought I would share some color on a gloomy and chilly Saturday afternoon!
