Sure is a huge difference in climate from your place to here- I think the farmers are going to get an early hay crop. The blossoms on the fruit trees are all done now.

When I first moved to Fargo-Moorhead it kind of freaked me out that the air is never still here. Now if it was totally still it would freak me out. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-19121078308144219302016-05-07T11:49:34.564-05:002016-05-07T11:49:34.564-05:00What pretty blooms on the pin cherry and thank you...What pretty blooms on the pin cherry and thank you for telling me that Popples are Aspen or I would have been pestering you!

I hope these guys will be OK. They are great big trees looking all but dead.<br />In contrast all our English Oaks are in full leaf and looking fabulous.Georginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232154028235485600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-38411526944489798112016-05-07T08:10:14.919-05:002016-05-07T08:10:14.919-05:00Yes, maybe a tick race will make acquiring them a ...Yes, maybe a tick race will make acquiring them a bit less scary. <br />Problem is, as I understand it, the really bad ones are so tiny that they're almost impossible to find.
