Blossoms


Spring is exciting! The world is coming to life after a long cold winter and calls you to come outdoors to see its delights. 


This spring is special for us as it is our first at the farmhouse. We are discovering what is here while adding our own touches. The previous owner created a very beautiful garden. On the side Jos refers to fondly as the park, there are two trees which are the start of a little orchard. We decided to add more fruit trees. 


The pear tree had lost its blossoms last year due to a May frost before we moved in. This year it seems abundant with fruit. 


We had 5 apples on the tree last year but again this tree is full of small fruit with great promise. 


These are the start of walnuts. Last year's harvest was extremely good. I shared walnuts with friends and still have a basket full yet to work through. We have hopes this year will bless us again with a good harvest. 

We planted a new pear and cherry tree this year. Perhaps it is time to rename the park into the orchard.
