"Spring development...."

Day one...

....first blossoms on our  

"we don't know what kind of tree" 

 It is the earliest flowering one of all our fruit trees

with late ripening fruits like large cherries,

providing a feast for the birds in June/July!

*

Day two....

...literally over night !

*

Under normal weather condition 

- normal for our region the Périgord -

first buds and blossoms appear in early to mid February!

But since a few years and harder winters

flowering starts later and later...and later...

Nothing seems to be "normal" any longer...

*

Oh, 'those days' in February with clear blue skies

and warm temperatures...

 ...when Oskar was just about one year old, 6 years ago,

and loved to climb up into that tree...

Bon Weekend !
