Blossoms

Our trees are covered. The blossoms make the apple trees stand out against the rest of the green plastering the backyard. It's always a sweet time around Memorial Day. The weekend is usually spent rototilling and putting our small garden in under a large source of blossoms. Right now, our garden awaits a fire permit, so we can rid the space of a huge pile of brush that has been there since late fall. The last few weeks its either been way too dry to burn, too windy or over the last week or so too wet. I might get a break today. If so, I'll take care of the situation this evening.
If you get a permit, you can burn after 5:30 PM and by midnight all that'll remain will be ashes, a few spent Summer Ale bottles and some wind blown blossoms.
Right now... it's a burning issue in my world.

  8. Love apple blossoms! We were thinking of putting in a garden but we have so many little bunnies running around, it might not be very profitable! :)

  10. Whether it's pumpkins in the fall or corn in August that garden is a favorite spot to visit.
    Surrounded by homemade birdhouses, behind the barn, always a fun visit. Burn On!
