Yesterday I had pre-vacation pictures of the first flower buds starting to pop out on the pear tree. Today I went out to see how things progressed while we were gone.
The bees have found the flowers as well.
Bees are good. Every little bit we can do to help them along is a plus.
The apple tree has started to leaf out as well.
No flowers, but plenty of leaves, tons of buds…
…and a fair number of those tiny, little, black bugs down deep in the leaves. Aphids? Who knows.
