Cherry blossom time

[terri]

The last 48 hours here have seen spiked temperatures. Our budding cherry tree has suddenly popped into bloom. We had a little rain and wind, so they are already getting knocked down. The sky was still overcast when I took this earlier, but the honeybees were still happy!

I like to stand under this tree every year, and listen to the bees while they swarm. It's a manic hum of busy mother nature.

Spring has sprung, even in these dark times.....

No honey bees here in the last two years. Cut down our last cherry tree last fall that was devastated by black knot.

Ugh, that's bad. They swarm here in the spring when this tree blooms, as well as several holly bushes and a few others that remain unknown to me.

If you plant some flowering bushes or trees, they could return. Bees need help!

Beautiful cherry tree! Our magnolia bloomed and I took a few photos. Spring gives hope.
