My first blossom
No matter what the thermometer says, and no matter what the weather reports may be, I am sick of the dreary, dismal, freezing cold weather. My dog's water dish outside is ice now! It is May 1st!!! April showers are supposed to bring May flowers, right?
There is a song that we used to sing in the Spring at Sunday School... "Popcorn popping on the apricot tree... spring has brought me such a nice surprise, blossoms popping right before my eyes...." Yes, Apricot blossoms do look like popcorn. Here is a picture of the very first blossom on one of my apricot trees. This one is in a pot on my deck... it survived the harsh MN winter we just had, and is the first of my trees to blossom. It most likely will get planted in the ground in the fall, before the ground freezes, but for now it is fine where it is.So disregard the weather man... my tree gave me a blossom!!
