It's Cherry Blossom Time!

It's Cherry Blossom time here in Middle Georgia! The Cherry Blossom Festival has started in Macon and will last two weeks! Macon has the largest amount of Yoshino cherry trees in the world! It is so pretty here when they bloom. This year, because of the cold weather we have had, the tress are a little late in blooming. Mine is covered in buds which are trying to open...maybe in a few more days!

Welcome Spring and Think Pink!

It's Cherry Blossom Time!

It is Cherry Blossom Time here in Middle Georgia! The Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon starts tomorrow and runs through next weekend! This town is so pretty when all the cherry blossoms are blooming! I planted my Yoshima cherry tree three years ago and cannot believe how big it is!

This how big it was in 2007 when it was a year and a half old! (That's Skippy!)

It is amazing to me how big it has grown in only three years. Now it has not bloomed very much at all. First year one little bloom. Second year three or four blooms only on one side. This year it looks like more are coming but will not cover the whole tree. Maybe next year!

Wednesday already??

Where has this week gone?! It seems that I have been so busy this week! After a whirlwind day-trip to Savannah, special orders, trips to the post office and an unplanned trip today to Atlanta, the week has almost passed me by and its only Tuesday!

On my way to the car today I noticed my first azalea (see above)! This is the only bloom in the whole yard! The Tulip Tree is blooming, slightly. It alway seems the get caught by the cold. I think that the snow day didn't help! In Atlanta the bradford pears were almost in full bloom in some areas and some cherry trees were begining to bloom. Here in Warner Robins the bradford pears are just begining to bloom. I checked my cherry tree, but nothing...
