Picking the stem with the apples means you are plucking off next year's apples. But I totally get that connection to the tree thing. I think it makes for nicer photos too. xKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234467488696653117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-7992733253559834272016-03-15T11:26:43.764+11:002016-03-15T11:26:43.764+11:00Oh goodness, I hope weather sorts herself out soon...Oh goodness, I hope weather sorts herself out soon and you get a bit of well deserved sunshine and warmth. xKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234467488696653117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-47113843382393679792016-03-15T11:25:42.985+11:002016-03-15T11:25:42.985+11:00How exciting and what an awesome adventure you are...How exciting and what an awesome adventure you are on.

We' in N California are netting the blossoming cherries in the hope that the wind doesn't take them like it did last year when, in the end, we shared all 14 cherries with the birdies and planned to net this spring. The most beautiful harbinger of spring is our State Flower, the California Poppy. Its iridescence with that vibrant orange against the chartreuses of the early growth makes a stunning landscape and usually means the worst winter has passed; this year we are still 'wishing and hoping and planning and dreaming' about more rain to help end our five year drought which has emptied our reservoirs and left our California Redwood trees hurting in ways we cannot fix. Just saw on news that our famous fog, which makes the Redwoods possible, has diminished by half over the last decade.<br /><br />However the two miniscule blueberry bushes are laden so the kids will have handfuls of bounty in a another short while. They look forward to our fresh "Boo-Blerries" every March. <br /><br />Thank you , Kate, for finding time to post such wonderfully evocative photos of the trees, the lovely Pepper, the baskets overflowing with lusciousness... You've made a beautiful midnight stop by the computer so worth it.

It is certainly a bountiful time in our gardens. Our summer this year has been a little strange. Our temps have been hot, constantly. We haven't had our usual south coast NSW southerlies after a hot day. There have been no thunderstorms after a hot day either. And now, summer is lingering. I'm looking forward to things cooling down a bit so I've got more energy again. I hope your days continue to be happy and healthy ones. xxooAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116435824600037430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-64068780657717129522016-03-08T09:48:30.126+11:002016-03-08T09:48:30.126+11:00It is Spring here!
