What's Bloomin'

It's Wednesday. Already! How did that happen?

Actually, I know how that happened...I have been dealing with sick kids for almost two weeks. Now that we're all well (knock on wood), I am returning to my normal routine. All I've had time for lately is a little weeding. Boo, very boring.

But now back to our regular programming - flowers! And allergies, sadly. Oh well, nothing is perfect.

Here are the purple tulips that are gracing my yard this week:

And the fruit trees are all in bloom. My favorite is the plum tree. Since it is full-grown, it looks especially spectacular.

We had a major wind that knocked almost all the blooms off the littler trees (sigh), but there are still a few on the cherry trees...

And the peach trees.

I am really hoping for lots of peaches this year. Last year, we got a whopping five peaches. And they were delicious, let me tell you - the best peaches I think I've ever tasted. Seriously hoping for lots and lots this year. I'm also keeping an eye on my other trees. This is their third year, which means we might see apricots and apples, and possibly a nectarine or two.

Anything blooming near you? I'd love to hear about it! And I promise I'll start working on some projects now that the kiddies aren't making lots of laundry by being sick. Promise.
