The Orchard Trees Are Flowering

Looking down into the orchard is quite a pretty view right now with the Apricot, Peach and Apple trees starting to bloom.  The white flowers on the apricot trees are beautiful and the pink flowers on the peach trees are so delicate.  I think it is the first time I have ever seen the flowers of these trees.  The apple trees have both white and pink flowers but I am not sure which type of apple trees they are.  The pear trees are now beginning to bud.  All of this would be great if it was only a few weeks later.  Unfortunately this just being mid March we could still have a freeze or two and if that happens these trees will not produce.  Last year that happened and we are hoping it won't happen again.  So, fingers crossed and a prayer said, we are hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.  As for now, we are just enjoying the beauty of the flowering trees.
