Lilacs and Apple Blossoms

Today was a day to welcome the lilacs and the apple blossoms. They are just opening and will need a week to be fragrant but we are very happy to see them.
We had a surprise visit from Little Gwyn and her mom. Gwyn helped Gramps feed the birds and squirrels. Never too early to learn, I think.

It was also a day for me to visit the dentist.
Why is there always a flip-side to everything?

Anyway, here are a few nice pics of the day...(none of me in the dentist chair :-b)



Is this a cherry blossom tree?
"Oh,  Lindaaaaaaa"


Soon this tree will be gorgeous with blossoms.
I favor the white lilacs.

See how close the Chickadee's nest is to our front door. She hops from my hanging basket of white geraniums to her little perch on the wooden cat. It's nice and deep in there for her nest.

Silly bird, though, to nest so close to the busy front door. We have already been scolded for standing on our porch and when the dog came out she darn near had a fit. Geesh!

I'm joining Jody athttp://rootedinthyme.blogspot.ca/ for Simple and Sweet Friday.

hugs, Deb

  5. Hi Deb....not much of an expert when it comes to these flowering trees....
    Could be a crab too....sorry...not really sure...
    But I am sure that Gwynn is a cutie pie, and I also love white Lilacs...AND.....phew....I have the same front slammer as you!
    Aren't chickadees the cutest wee birds....

  6. I'll take lilacs any way I can get 'em. We don't have them here.
    Gwyn is a little doll.

  9. Isn't funny how angry the birds get when you 'invade their space'. It's as if it never occurs to them that you lived there and used that porch first.
