peachy keen

nature amazes me... a few days ago, there were no buds on the peach tree in the backyard - really!  today - it's flourishing with blossoms... how does that happen?  i'm not complaining - it's a beautiful sight to see and simply incredible how quickly these things occur.

at any rate... we'll see what happens this year - in terms of actual fruit bearing.  the great tree has had its ups and downs over the last 6 or 7 years - a mind of its own in terms of producing fruit... does it go dormant after several years of giving peaches and then need some time off?  perhaps it means the tree is tired... requires a vacation... come august - peach juices may be dripping down chins and arms, making fingers sticky... the canning equipment pulled down off the shelves for jam, butter and salsa -

in the meantime - enjoy some delightful peach blossoms in the springtime...

stay tuned - to see what happens...

happy day.....
