A Spring Thing!

These pictures are from about a month ago and by now , all of the blossoms have turned into leaves but we were so fascinated by their beauty , and their fragrance, that I just had to post them for you all to see. Our neighborhood is surrounded by these magnificent orchards, not to mention that the orchards and vineyards in all their varieties are scattered throughout Fresno. What a cheerful sight to see these blossoms every day as we drove about our activities. This particular day was a Sunday afternoon drive through what is called "The Blossom Trail". It is an area that has been mapped out for your ultimate blossom viewing pleasure. Alexis was so excited and had to stop many times to take pictures out the sunroof with her own little camera. I love kids! They get so excited about things. Her pictures were so important to her. Today I smiled as I watched Aubrey marvel over the first snail she'd ever seen. What a curious thing it was to her. We sure love spring!
