F&P Orchard Blossoms

Grenville mentioned the Frog & PenguINN orchard earlier.
Here’s a visual update on the orchard flowers as of this week.

Apple blossoms – looking forward to sitting under the apple tree with Grenville and later apple cobbler and pie.

Beautiful photos of the blossoms. I need to get inspired and make a couple pies one of these days.

I like your three collages of blossoms. Can almost smell those pies!

Beautiful collages of your fruit tree blossoms! I've been catching up after my week in Washington, and I've enjoyed seeing Grenville's garden reconstuction. Towards the end of May I'll be ready for a few projects here, just in case Grenville has run out of things to do by then......

We finally lost our apple and cherry tree both, last year. Old age and pests. I told my wife, Patty, to order one of each to plant this year. I hope she did as I miss them and the beautiful blossoms. Your photos of the blossoms are wonderful. And inspiring to me.

It sure looks great down there. We are actually having some nice weather, and the crocuses are out. It's a start.

Hi Kids. Thanks for all the compliments on th eblossoms. Every time it get windy or rains hard i worry about losing them and NO PIES!!!!
All CUDO's go to Beatrice for the great photos. Sorry Elaine, as soon as the tilling is done the planting and the mowing begin and in between the new Grand Daughter arrives. Gonna be a busy summer this year.

Grenville gets all the hard work credit for planting and tending these orchard beauties. Taking the photos was the easier part. Thanks for the nice comments. We will keep you updated on their progress and any baking. And, of course, you're all invited for dessert!

Far Side, never tried an upside down peach cake - maybe this year. Welcome back, Elaine, Grenville never seems to run out of projects. Abe, hope that Patty gets those trees for you. AC and Larry, the weather has been up and down in terms of temps and it was very chilly and windy when the photos were taken.
