Darling Buds of May

I opened the back door the other day to be greeted by a cherry tree in full blossom.  It was amazing,  I don't think I've ever  seen quite so much blossom on it. (Photo doesn't do it justice)

The pear tree was similarly endowed, and the quince was starting t show blossom.

And then a couple of days later.... the blossom has done its job. It's browning, thinning, dropping off. It happened so quickly.

The other apple trees are developing blossom now.

Fingers crossed for plenty of fruit....I'd better think about what to make
