It's a riotous time of year in the back yard and everywhere else in nature.

Messymimi, thanks. Always good to find another Andrews Sisters fan.

Thanks, Bossy Betty. It's a joy to have in the back yard.

I love that tree! It reminds me of the one my husband planted in a home long gone that was named after my maiden name.

Leah J. Utas said...

Thanks, Nancy. It sounds like a good memory.

Thanks, Reb. And yup.

I love crab apple trees at this time of year. Great pic.

I wish I could bottle the smells of all the blooming stuff in my backyard to bring out in January or February to remind me what spring and early summer are like!

Leah J. Utas said...

Thanks, Laurita.

Chris, what a great idea. I wish it could be.

David Barber said...

Love the tree, and, of course, the song is one of my favourites!

Leah J. Utas said...

Thanks, Bag Lady. Mine, too.

Hilary said...

Very nice, Leah. And a perfect musical match.

Barbara Martin said...

Gosh, that song brings mack memories. Lovely crabapple tree. Do you make jelly or sauce from the fruit?

Leah J. Utas said...

Why thank you, Hilary.

Glad to learn this song was such a hit with everyone. Barbara, my husband boils the apples and mashes them, then freezes the results. He uses it on his morning oats.

So pretty! It seems funny to have our blossoms now...when out farther west (and south of course!)...they had their blossoms a month or more ago! Hoping this means our next season will just last longer:) HA!
