Each photo will tell its own story, the one above I sent to my daughter this morning, did not work properly but we spent a good half an hour on the phone chattering, three of the above are practically grown-up now.
Happy Easter Sunday Thelma - we miss seeing our loved ones but at least we can chat to them and we can enjoy the fresh air (eighteen degrees here). Keep safe
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Pat. That air is already cooling unfortunately as it drifts down from Scotland. X
DeleteHappy Easter Sunday Thelma. The day started well with the discovery of some hidden chocolate in the back of the cupboard and Tam has produced an Easter egg she treated herself too a few weeks back.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping for a good harvest on hard and soft fruits here. We are doubling the size of our soft fruit area, as I had stuff in pots which I intended to go with us when we move, and instead they are going in the ground - 2 Loganberries, a yellow Autumn Raspberry, other Raspberries which have explored, a self-seeded Gooseberry bush etc. The biggest Pear tree is covered in blossom, though we will have fewer Damsons this year. Apple trees about to come into bloom. We normally get hundredweights of fruit and the heaviest-fruiting tree was resting last year so we hope it will produce well this autumn. I also have 9 baby apple trees in pots, grown from seed - of course, they will resemble one or other of the parents, but they are fruit for someone in the future.
Happy Easter Jennie and your family. Though i did not expect to stay here for long, have gooseberries, redcurrants, some plum trees and a pear, beautifully in blossom at the moment. There are plenty of apples in the village which get put out for selling for charity but I do miss their blossom. The above photos were from my old garden, and I still have the list of what was planted. Kitkats for me :(
DeleteHappy Easter, Thelma and I hope next year will be a brighter one for the earth family.
ReplyDeleteWe wanted to plant some fruit trees here and give them a try but along came the energy shift and that will have to wait.
Happy Easter to you and your family Rain, living amongst cactus must be difficult growing fruit trees but it is always good to see first the blossom and then the fruit.
ReplyDeleteWe are over 2000ft; so actually there are a lot of possibilities. I wanted those more natural to hot climates but even apples are possible
DeleteHappy Easter...our apple tree is just coming into leaf this week. Arilx
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Aril, may it bear lots of apples!
DeleteHappy Easter and a better year to come.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Joanne, and truly a better year to come...
DeleteFrustratingly, I also cannot read the blue writing on the rose. All that Easter means to me is chocolate eggs and the sense that springtime has truly arrived. However, it is nigh time that Easter happened at the same time every year. It is so annoying that we still allow the Catholic church to move it around in accordance with the phases of the moon. Ridiculous. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteJust watched a three year old Scottish little girl, express beautifully, what on earth has Jesus to do with rabbits and chocolate, and why when she can have chocolate on festival days she can't have chocolate the rest of the year. And rabbits can't have eggs either! Happy Easter.
