We have had sun for several days..and the trees I wait for all year... are in bloom..
They are 8 yrs old...little skinny things when we bought them..
Flowering crab apple..no they just get little berries, no crab apples!
Through my kitchen window..there are 4 of them..the 3 bradford pears have already lost their blossoms.
Fragrant blossoms..
Here's where the osprey nest in our neighborhood...
And you will have to tune in next week to see what this outdoor construction will be...shhh, it's a secret!
I made Calzone and a salad for dinner last night..
Thanks for visiting! Please go see the other entries at

ReplyDeleteWhatever..it will be great there..our trees are starting to bloom too..
Ain't life grand on sunny days?
Happy Outdoor Wednesday Kathleen! I'd love to sit on the deck with you a few hours! Thanks for sharing your photos.~ Susan
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and yummy looking calzone!
ReplyDeleteHi kathleen,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view and flowering trees. I am looking forward to you sharing your surprise. Thank you for sharing.

That crab apple looks amazing! You have the most beautiful backyard with the water view!

I can't wait for the surprise to be unveiled. In the meantime I'll settle for a slice of that calzone.
ReplyDeleteUmmm... calzone! I'm in.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowering crab apple -- those trees are just so spectacular in spring; I wish they looked like that all summer!
Is the osprey nest occupied yet? Any tenants? :-)
Haven't been to the East End yet -- you are giving me withdrawal symptoms.
Thanks for visiting and leaving such a nice comment about my daughter and her Bosnia pictures. She is named after my great-grandmother. I'm impressed that your neighbors volunteered in Bosnia -- Alida always came home exhilarated and exhausted!

I know what that tree is! I have one and actually, finally knew a name :) Very pretty! and it has been gorgeous out the past few days!
ReplyDeleteThe calzone looks delicious!
ah the surprise is really coming along just in time, I won't tell :)
I just love those crab apple trees. I am tempted to get one myself. They remind me of crepe myrtle trees..at least in color. The secret is coming a long beautifully.... I'm so glad you're finally getting some decent weather. I think we barely breached 50 today.
ReplyDeleteThe crabapple is gorgeous ... definitely makes for a beautiful view.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I can't figure out where the osprey nest.
The surprise construction is really coming along.
You have such a pretty view from your window. Are you getting a screened porch? It looks like it will be wonderful, whatever it is. laurie
ReplyDeleteGreat trees they are beautiful. Lovely pics, thanks for sharing.

Kathleen, the crabapple tree is lovely, and I love when my neighbor's tree is in bloom. I wish it would rain here, I've been watering my plants with a watering can.
ReplyDeleteThe project is coming along nicely. I won't spill the beans :-)
Your trees are just gorgeous! I like the Flowering Crabapple. We used to have a REAL Crabapple and I used to have the kids race to see who could pick up the most that had fallen. Otherwise they would rot and we would have bees galore!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful view of your yard from your window. I hope to see more this summer!
Have a wonderful week! Oh, the calzone looks out of sight!!
xoxo

Kathleen, just lovely view from your kitchen. I miss having flowering crabapples. Oh, I didn't know the "project" was going in so quickly! Great!
ReplyDeleteI think we may have the same trees. Are yours Prairie Fires? The get little berries. But, they do not.. drop on the ground? Your yard is lovely.
