LIFE: Blossom

Blossom Blossom

Spring blossoms finally come around just as the first thunderstorms of the year roll in. From the freezing temperature of winter past - like when it was -20C and all. We're now in the dizzy heights of the mid to high 20C's most days (Yorkshire summer time = Michigan spring) although April shows seem to be rolling into May this week. If all a little late.

It takes to mid May for the blossoms to appear in all their pinks and white. Come Monday morning before I started work, I quickly grabbed my camera and dashed out before another oncoming thunder shower and the accompanying wind blew the natural confetti off the trees. Now, a couple of days later, the same blossoms are looking a little sorry for themselves, all waterlogged and a little droopy. I know that feeling sometimes.

Anyway, we have a hectic long weekend ahead with house hunting and family visiting, I'll see you on the other side!
