Apple blossoms and Lilacs - what a combination for spring! Lilacs were my traditional birthday flower, blooming later in Penrose than in many other places. And apple blossoms, ranging from the pretty pink buds to the more faint pink buds always attract so many honey bees. As you can see from the many picturess I've posted, we live next door to an apple orchard, boasting many different varieties, and including some apricots, and plums. The orchard owner usually has a blend of apples that he takes to the cider mill in Paradise, Utah (Yes, you can go to Paradise on this earth.), and makes into the most delicious apple cider you would ever want to drink.

'Tis truly May with those pictures. Save some cider, please.
The blossom pictures makes me want to just go sit in the middle of them and inhale. Isn't spring grand!
I love lilac, in fact they might possibly be my favorite. For some reason they always seemed to be much later in Washington, so I was pleased to see some blooming here in Ontario-and possibly a little jealous you have some in your own backyard.
Ah, Jen, but these really belong to our neighbor - it's just the law of anything that comes on your side of the property line becomes yours - right? Which Ontario are you in?
