When I came home from work today
there were crabapple blossoms everywhere
We had rising temperatures and lots of humidity early this afternoon.
This brought a gusty thunderstorm.
The blossoms on the Snow Mound trees in my front yard
are now on my front yard.
I found them in sweet places.
...like the center of a bird's nest that must have fallen too...
This is what one of the trees looked like the evening before.

They were Mother's Day gifts years ago.
I treasure them.
~ They always smile for the camera ~
It certainly looked like a snow shower today instead of a rain shower!
Knowing that the trees would look different after this storm,
my thoughtful husband gathered a few branches
before it started and set them on
our cafe table.
Thank you, Chris

That was really sweet.
All your pictures are wonderful, Maria. Love your majestic beautiful tree, the color of the sky is heavenly! This kind of snow is the best there is. Tell your thoughtful Chris I said Hi.

ReplyDeleteOh, how sweet. I hate it that your blossoms were blown off, but I'm sure that it was also very pretty to see the "snow" covered ground. Your pictures are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour tree is amazing!!!! It makes me smile too. I love it when the blossoms fall all over the ground..so pretty...I want to sit amoung them all and never leave..I think this is what Heaven must be like.
