Peaches were my husband's favorite fruit. We planted this one in the front yard together a year before he passed. I certainly had my Dominic in mind this morning as I snapped a few shots of the freshly opened blossoms. He would have delighted in seeing the tree so healthy. He would've eaten himself peaceful with peaches last season. It yielded a whopping SIXTY POUNDS of succulent sweet freestones at the age of three. I don't know what the two yellow orbs in this picture are. Someone told me they are a classic example of Spirit Orbs. Hmmm... I do like that idea. It's far more interesting and romantic than simple floating dust balls. While I am joyed by the blooms, and the magical appearance of the orbs, I am also conscious of the very late bloom time. My Gardening Diary has usual bloom time as mid April. In addition, last weeks entry regarding the usual arrival time for Hummingbirds in this area of Upstate New York, has also changed. It is May 6 th. and I have seen NOT ONE HUMMER YET !!! ??? WORRY ??? "Ain't no need to worry about the things to come. Forget about your problems and face them one by one. Ain't no need to worry about what might have been. Just trust the Heavenly Father and let that be the end. Ain't no need to worry about things unknown to you. Have faith in God and rest assured that He will see you through." Poem by Earline Ross Cole
