ABC WEDNESDAY-"R"-RHODODENDRONS

After our long, bitterly cold and snowy Minnesota winter, I didn't think I'd ever see blossoms emerge again, but my lovely rhododendrons finally burst into bloom at the beginning of May. 

ALLELULIA!!

Thanks, B-Squared!

In the middle of April I expressed concern that my crab apple trees had nary a bud on them.  B-Squared advised me to "try fertilizer." Lo, and behold! It was either his advice or a passage of time; whatever...it got results!

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)

Olivia Among the Blossoms

She makes my heart sing!

PS. I called the camera shop, and I still don't have an estimate for its repair nor do I know what seems to be the problem. In the meantime, I'm using my son's point-and-shoot Canon. Patience!!
