Apple Blossom Time














It's apple blossom time at our Little Red House. I've always thought it would be great to have an apple orchard, but we only have one old apple tree, and one pink-flowered crabapple. They are enough, however, to provide some beautiful spring blossoms, and to shower the grass with pink and white petals. Happy spring!

  1. Beautiful photos Mary; I can almost smell the apple blossoms. Think how much time you are saving (with only one tree)picking drops off the ground;-)

  8. What a perfect frame for your house. It's too bad the blossom don't stay for a longer period of time. The pink and white blossoms are so delicate. I bet it looks like a fairy snowstorm when they fall! :-) Rosie

  14. What a lovely tree. I bet it smells wonderful, too... and while I love the site of bees on cherry and apple blossoms, it usually makes me study the tree from afar rather than upclose- yours seemed to be lacking bees, so happy tree indeed!

  17. Beautiful blossoms! I love the last picture!! I remember as a child going into the woods and breaking off small branches of wild apple tree blossoms to bring home and put in vases. They smelled so sweet.
