Happy Birthday Ashleigh

This honey bee is so loaded with pollen he can barely fly. The flowering crab was full of them. Hope Mike's bees have found a good source of pollen.
This is the flowering tree right outside my bedroom window. It has gotten quite large.
As you can see it is in need of a trim. No longer that small weeping crab it was destined to be.
Every branch is loaded with blossoms as you can see. It just missed being in full bloom for prom last weekend. All the flowering trees are extra pretty this year. Even the pear and cherry tree are full of flower.

I thought you would enjoy seeing some of the Michigan spring which finally showed up. Caitlin has a pink crab in her side yard which is just as lovely as ours. It will be interesting to see if it is on an every other year blossom schedule like ours.

You should have birthday packages arriving over the next several days. Hope everything is just what you wanted and gets there quickly. Enjoy your day off and have fun!

26 hugs and kisses

Love you lots! Mama

I love the picture of the bee! Thanks for your good wishes. I am planning to make myself a rhubarb pie and homemade ice cream today for a little birthday dinner party. Whee!
