Thankfully the eau de la cow pie fragrance is dissipating and something more wonderful is taking it’s place.
It started like this…
And then…
Boom!
Apple blossoms.
And if you’ve never stuck your head right up inside a tree and sniffed?
What are you waiting for!
We have 4 such trees.
And they’re glorious.
As pappy used to say when the redolent clouds of fresh bovine scat would waft through an open window. “Smells like money in the bank to me!”
Spring is well on its way here … we are segueing into early summer.
Mowing will become a major part of my existence.

Mowing and the accompanying trimming is an all day event here and could be repeated every 3 days in season… though we try to go 6. We love the result, but it’s damn time consuming.

It’s not often I know of a song that coincides perfectly with one of your posts, and when it does, I’m certainly not going to be so selfish as to not share it. How lucky can a Rivergirl get?

And they took away our apple tree (and other fruit/blooming trees) because they want everything to be uniform AKA boring!!

Gorgeous photos! I’m envious! Reminds me of a year living in an area of eastern Washington full of fruit orchards and how fun it was to run past them in spring. I’m inspired; it’s long past time I planted some fruit trees on my own lot. The deer will thank me – and you!

I lived in NC for 18 years where if you stand still long enough… you turn yellow. And still never suffered. Sorry, but it’s true.
