Blossoms

All my neighbors' trees and bushes are in full bloom, but my crab apple trees have nary a bud or blossom on them.  I wonder why? Perhaps it's too early or perhaps I should sing to each one. Or maybe move to Paris?

“April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom, holiday tables under the trees.”
E. Y. Harburg quotes (American Lyricist, Librettist and Song Writer, 1896-1981)

  3. Finally, spring is looking fresh. Might be a bit early, yes sing to them, and by all means go to Paris!

  7. Maybe yours aren't in as sunny of a location? Or maybe they're just late bloomers? ;-)

    I'm sure they'll come though. Although the idea of moving to Paris is not bad!

  8. It is odd, I've seen lilacs in full bloom just a block from my house but mine are a couple weeks away from full bloom.
    This is a pretty spring picture.

  11. Our blossoms just started this week there are pink and white ones all over town. Although it was cold again yesterday. I love this house. It makes for a beautiful photo.

    BTW, the house that Todd and I were trying to buy fell thru at the 24th hour. All that work for nothing. This is the second time it has happend. Maybe Santa Fe is trying to tell us something.
