The sun is out exuding its warmth, and this soul is delighting in its presence. It is not quite short trouser weather, but can it be far behind?
Yesterday, I was out and about in my orchard, and spying for early buds on the fruit trees. If all continues, it looks like another bumper crop.
I love the out of doors.
Cheers, the ogre of the North,

Hi Gayla,
We have 17 apple trees, two new plum trees and just started some peach trees. Plan to plant some cherry trees this year. My daughter decided she would like some fruit trees on the land she will inherit eventually.
For years, I have collected apples and delivered them to seniors in the area.
Cheers,
Jim

My mother tried to grow peach trees when we were in Houston. They were extremely unsuccessful.
What she had great success with was figs. I can still taste the jam she used to make. It was fabulous.
We had a lemon tree too. No lemons -- but it was so fragrant.

Hi Mc...The peach trees are supposed to be for this climate. They are dwarf trees and should bear fruit this year. We shall see how they survived the winter. There are fresh buds all over the tree, so it looks good.
I started a lemon tree indoors many years ago. It didn't give any fruit either, but it grew so high it was bending around the ceiling. I can't remember what happened to that tree, but it was fun at the time.
I am not the most knowledgable horticulturalist. I don't even remember the names of flowers, but it is fun and good exercise. I once worked hard to keep a plant going because I liked it..turned out it was a weed!

One man's weed . . .

That's exactly what I was thinking -- like the Queen Anne's Lace growing beside the road. We get a teeny yellow flower growing wild here. Lovely. So many beautiful weeds!

Jim, are you really a Calvinist or did you just say it because you wanted a reaction?

Gayla,
You are quite right, the Trooping of the Colours, the official day of the Queen's birth celebration is in June,,around June 11th....not sure of the date this year.
In Canada, we observe it on May 22nd this year,,called Victoria Day....it is a public holiday. At one time it included fireworks displays, flying the Union Jack, and great celebrations....To-day, it is just an excuse for a holiday, I fear...time to open the cottages!
Cheers,
Jim
