When I went outside for my afternoon visit with the donkeys, I was delighted and surprised to see the first blossoms appearing on our big apple tree.

I am enjoying seeing Spring pop up in bits and pieces. Maria’s gardens are coming to life, the white birches are blooming, and some of the perennials in the gardens are making their appearances.

In a week or two, I’ll plant more seeds in my raised garden beds. I hope all of these flowers mean lots of apples.
