Yesterday was incredibly hot and parching dry.  Just a few weeks ago, we had a blizzard.

Oddly enough, even though we had a snowy long winter, it’s now scarily dry. Yesterday was record breaking hot, and dry.

Wildfires are already a problem, and a threat…. yikes.

So, this morning, when I woke up, I was delighted that we had had un-forecast rain. Hurrah!

And I was just awestruck to see the big crabapple tree in front of the studio windows. It has erupted into blossoms!

I had no idea that there were even buds on it! Wheee!

As I was taking this pic, which sadly doesn’t show the glory of the flowers (sorry!), I was really happy to see a big fat bumble bee bootling around the blossoms.  We’ve now got hive collapse disorder here and it’s frightening.

Think good thoughts for those bumble bees!

and here’s to blossom blessings…..
