Blossom Time - Harrogate StrayNow that's what I'm looking forward to! Don't get me wrong though, I generally love all phases of all seasons but, as our temperatures have dropped somewhat the last few days, decided on a sneak preview of changes to come. (Strange that I should go back to an image from last spring to do so).
We enjoyed a little walk this afternoon, appreciating the new shoots and buds as they gently unfurl.
Meanwhile, a little question. When does an apple tree become a thorn tree?
Answer: When it's branches are wrapped and bedecked with thorn branches, in an attempt to prevent a couple of neighbourhood cats climbing up to the blue-tit's nesting box.
No matter what cat deterrent device we utilize in the garden, our endeavours always seem to come to naught!
